Class Experience

This class is to practice and develop French writing, conversing, and reading skills. We will write short paragraphs, read French, and converse in French, developing listening skills, and how to pick on clues to the questions to craft our answers.  
Every week, we will practice using French pronouns, articles, verbs, and vocabulary in sentences that you could use in your daily life, in sentences, in conversations, and in texts.
