𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒉: 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 & 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑭𝒖𝒏 is a lively French course designed for students who want to add some French flair to their winter holidays! We’ll dive into basic vocabulary related to winter and holiday themes, learning essential French words through engaging and memorable activities. Each week covers a unique winter or holiday-related topic, and each session includes a mix of songs, stories, worksheets, and interactive games to reinforce learning in a fun, immersive way.

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
Each class will be interactive and varied, combining lecture, games, and activities. We’ll use slides, pictures, and songs to reinforce vocabulary and provide students with worksheets to practice at home.

My teaching style is fun, engaging, and productive! I’ll use storytelling, songs, and role-playing to keep students immersed and interested. There will be lots of opportunities for interaction, including discussion, video clips, and group games, to help students build their confidence in French while celebrating the winter season.
Learning Goals
Students will confidently greet each other using “Bonjour” and “Au revoir,” and introduce themselves with simple phrases like “Je m'appelle…,” building a foundation for French conversation.
By the end of the class, students will be able to describe winter weather conditions in French, such as “Il neige” (It’s snowing) and “Il fait froid” (It’s cold), with vocabulary-matching games to reinforce learning.
