*Please note that this group class is in La Barantine Stockbridge with Szymon*

📆 Calendar: IN-PERSON: From the 10th of March, you’ll have an hour class **every Tuesday at 6 pm** for 8 weeks until the 28th of April. If you miss a class, you’ll still get the material and some explanations from me so then no excuse to keep practising your French every week!

Level 1 is for students who have already done a bit of French and feel comfortable with basic questions and answers. You should be able to introduce yourself, say a few things about your life, and use common verbs like aller, faire, vouloir, pouvoir, devoir, etc, even if you still make mistakes or hesitate sometimes.

For a better understanding of this level, in this class, you’ll meet some students who just completed the level 0 - beginner course.

Hesitating between level 0 and 1?

Here’s my advice: if you're deciding between these two levels, keep in mind that for Level 1, you should already feel comfortable forming questions and answers in French. You should know at least a few key verbs (perhaps 5–10), and while you might still make mistakes, especially with small connecting words, you can create sentences like:

- Quand est-ce que je peux aller en France ?
- Je ne vais pas en France parce que je travaille demain.
- Pourquoi est-ce que tu dois habiter à Paris ?
- Je ne peux pas faire du sport avec mes amis

Therefore, for Level 1, you shouldn’t be completely new to French; you should already have a bit of confidence speaking and be capable of forming basic sentences. On the other hand, if you’ve learned some French at school or through Duolingo but struggle to ask or answer simple questions correctly, I’d recommend starting with Level 0.

📚 That's the overall idea, but as you know, **language learning is fluid** and can vary from one student to another. That’s why we keep our classes small, with a maximum of 6 students, to ensure we can adjust to each student’s level and make sure everyone gets plenty of speaking time. The key to learning a language is by speaking it, so our main focus is simple: speak, speak, and speak.

🧑‍🏫 The class will be conducted by Szymon, from Nantes in France, a really experienced native French teacher.

🗣You'll be learning from a **native French Speaker**, so you’ll experience how French is truly spoken—not from an app or a textbook. A quick heads-up: you won’t be learning the typical phrases like “Parlez-vous français ?” or “Voulez-vous visiter le musée ?” because that’s not how we really talk. But don’t worry, I’ll explain all of that during the course and help you sound like a real French speaker!

The class is open for only **6 students** to keep the class small and cosy, but mostly unsure everyone can practice and ask questions.

We'll meet in the famous French cosy café **La Barantine in Stockbridge** after it’s closed, which makes it feel more like hanging out than a formal lesson - indeed don't expect a "rigid" approach such as formal institutions. Students who come are super friendly and motivated—not just to learn French, but to enjoy some time with interesting and nice people. So my classes are all about **learning and having a good time together**.

Every class includes homework and different types of exercises to help you keep a good routine outside of the class. You'll get all the materials on a printed and online version, before/after each class, meaning you don't need to buy a book.

📌 Location: We’ll meet in La Barantine Stockbridge - 27B Raeburn Pl, Edinburgh EH4 1HU
