Statement of Participation
Course overview
This very popular course is designed for students who have completed French Conversation - Level 1.
The focus of this course is to reinforce the basics acquired in French Conversation - Level 1 or equivalent, and to progress towards more complex sentence structures and grammatical elements. A mini-immersion style will be used in class with French language used increasingly to familiarise students with the sounds and nuances of the language.
Topics include:
- Self-introduction
- To talk about / to introduce one’s family
- The verbs “to like”, “to love”, “to dislike”
- Interests, likes and dislikes
- Regular verbs at the present tense – description of common situations
- Numbers, date, phone numbers, time
- The genre of nouns: masculine vs feminine
- Using adjectives
- Possession: my/your/his
- To talk about future projects
In the final class students will be encouraged to participate in an outing to a local French restaurant. This will be a fun cultural experience for all involved. This will be discussed with students at the first lesson.
This short course is non-accredited therefore is not registered with the National Training Register.
