Designed for students with little to no knowledge of French, this course focuses on acquiring basic communication skills using a creative, all-in-French conversational approach in a fun and relaxed class atmosphere. By the end of the course, students will be able to talk about their own and others’ personalities, activities, hobbies, families, and studies, and they will be able to read about French culture. In addition, students will be able to use communication strategies to make and respond to requests, handle phone conversations, and express interests.

This is the first course in a two-part sequence. Part II will be offered in Winter 2027. Students may enroll in this course without intending to take Part II.
