STUDY FRENCH

This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of the French language with an emphasis on everyday communication. It’s designed for those who have little or no knowledge of French. Through interactive lessons, students will learn essential vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural context. By the end of the course, learners will be able to hold basic conversations, read and write simple texts, and express themselves in common real-life situations and business settings.
