Foreign Languages: French Beginners (Term 2)
In this course we will build on the equivalent of one term of part-time study of French where students have already learned to share greetings, personal information, made simple orders in a café / restaurant and seek directions. There will be some revision of the existing skills and knowledge and then the class will progress to placing more demanding orders, and learn the way that the verbs ‘to be’ (etre) and ‘to have’ (avoir) have wide application in French. The course will be online with plenty of lively interaction in full group and in small break-out groups.
