In this course we will review and expand our acquaintance with French culture and with basic French vocabulary and structure. The emphasis will be on good pronunciation and culture so that you can feel at
ease while enjoying—and contributing to—easy conversations in a francophone environment. We will rely on videos made in France as a starting point for grammatical explanations rather than on a traditional
textbook where learning starts with the grammatical structures. Teaching with Zoom has two big advantages for language study: a) it brings the sounds and sights of the new culture into our own environment and b) it allows for participant-to-participant conversations in breakout rooms.
Textbook (optional): “The Ultimate FRENCH Review and Practice,” any edition, offering detailed
explanations, exercises and corrections of the exercises.
