Do you want to know how to buy a croissant in Cannes? Or a beer in Biarritz? Come along to class and learn how to check in at a hotel or campsite, hire a car, go shopping and ask for directions, as well as ordering food and drink.
You will learn through listening to authentic French speakers, practising short conversations with each other, reading signs and short notices and writing e mails. The emphasis will be on communication rather than grammar and, as you progress, you will enjoy an insight into both the culture of France and other French-speaking countries.
Did you know French is not only spoken in France, but also in Switzerland, Belgium, Quebec in Canada and many African countries, including the holiday destinations of Morocco and Tunisia.
