Beginner Level
During this series of fun and interactive lessons, children will learn the French language through songs, slides, games and conversations. Ms. Colleen is a bilingual (French and English) teacher who has been sharing fun language lessons with children for many years. Her patient and calm teaching style helps children who are new to foreign language learning feel confident and at ease. No prior experience with French is necessary. Each week learners will practice reading and speaking French. We will go slowly and make sure each concept is grasped by the learners. The small class size of each session ensures individual attention for each learner. Printed materials and/or online games will be provided each week to help reinforce what is learned in class. This is not a French Immersion class. Instruction is given in English , but learners are encouraged to speak French as much as they can. Lesson One Greetings We will learn how to introduce ourselves in French. We will learn our Bonjour song. Lesson Two Numbers 1-10 We will learn the numbers 1-10 in French. We will play counting games and learn a number song. Lesson Three How old are you? and Letter sounds. We will learn how to ask and tell how old we are. Lesson 4 Ordinal Numbers We will learn how to use ordinal numbers by playing games and doing a fun colouring sheet. Lesson 5 Sizes The three bears will help us learn the words for small, medium and large in French. Lesson 6 Parts of the Body We will sing, "Tete, Epaules, Genoux et Peids" to introduce the parts of the body in French. We will then play a matching game in order to match each word to the corresponding photo. Lesson 7 Quel temps fait-il? During this lesson we will learn all about weather. Lesson 8 Qui est dans ta famille? The children will learn how to tell and ask others about their family. We will learn the words for each family member. Feminine and masculine pronouns will be discussed briefly. Lesson 9 Animals We will play games help us learn and remember the names of animals in French. We will learn to say, I am (Je suis) and I have (J'ai). Lesson 10 Comment te sens-tu? We will learn to ask and tell others about emotions. We will learn words in French for the various emotions we feel. Lesson 11 We will review what we have learned.

Hi, I'm Ms. Colleen.
I'm an Early Childhood Educator and home educating parent. I have my degree in Child Study from Mount Saint Vincent University and I have been teaching for 28 years. I am also a certified EFL (English as a Foreign Language) instructor. I speak both English and French. In 2020 I discovered my love of teaching online. I guess every cloud really does have a silver lining! My family and I live in beautiful Atlantic Canada. I'm excited to share fun and interactive learning activities with your children! Teaching is truly my passion and that shines through in my lessons. My teaching style is calm, patient, and warm. I believe that childhood is a journey, not a race. I love to learn new things and I try to instill a love of learning through my lessons. I love to laugh. I like to incorporate singing into my lessons because I believe it helps learners relax and absorb information, especially when learning a new language. I hope to see you soon in one of my classes!Reviews
