Beginner Level
In this French for beginners class, learners will be able to grasp the introduction to the language as well as immerse in the French culture, exploring food, traditions... while participating in creative speaking activities related to real life situations... all in a supportive and friendly environment. We start every lesson with an introduction to the content with a teacher lead presentation. Animated power points with context clues and visuals, partner chats and group discussions will facilitate the memorization of new vocabulary every week and will help learners practice pronunciation. We will invite students every week to complete a group of extra optional activities for more practice. We welcome learners who wish to join at any point during the program! Our supportive environment ensures a smooth transition, so new learners won’t feel left behind. We provide additional guidance to help them catch up and fully engage with the material. Plus, since the program restarts upon completion, every learner will have the opportunity to experience the full curriculum.
