Refresh Your French - West Bridgford Library - Adult Learning

This is the course for you if you have done some French before: a beginners course, GCSEs when you were young, read your phrase book twice, a 300-days streak on Duo Lingo, or in any other form.

On this short course, you will practise what you know, improve your pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and much more. You will meet other learners who like to travel and there will be opportunities to learn about French culture in a relaxed class. Only basic skills are required, such as ordering and buying food, talking about yourself and your family, using short sentences.

During the course, we will cover topics to help when travelling: booking an accommodation, talking about the weather, your plans, choosing a restaurant, etc. We will also cover the present tense, and make a start on using past tenses so that you can have conversations on different topics.

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?

• Converse in French with other learners about some topics such as holidays and travels.

• Be able to understand the main ideas and some specific details in beginner to intermediate-level French videos and spoken conversations.

• Increase your knowledge of Francophone culture.

• Read and write texts about familiar topics.

• Use the most common verbs correctly when speaking.

• Prepare a presentation and present it to the group.

What you will need to bring to the course:

A pen and notebook.
