*Approximate level: A1*

*Note this level is more advanced than a simple level 1.*

📆 Calendar: ONLINE: From the 10th of March, you’ll have an hour class **every Tuesday at 12:30 pm** for 8 weeks until the 28th of April. If you miss a class, don't worry, you'll still get the **replay** of the class and the materials, so no excuse to keep practising your French every week

At this level, students should have a **solid foundation** in basic French communication. They can comfortably introduce themselves, ask and answer simple questions, and use some simple everyday verbs in the present tense (to go, to do, to like, to want, to come, can). They are also able to navigate common interactions, such as ordering in a restaurant and expressing likes, dislikes, and preferences. At this level, you should be comfortable with your present, future and past tense, as we'll add the conditional to your répertoire!

Students in this group should have already learnt the basics of ***le passé composé,*** which is a past tense in French (j'ai fait, j'ai pris etc). During this term, you'll practise it, and so much more.

**🤔Unsure whether to choose Level 0 or Level 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 dois travailler demain.
- Pourquoi est-ce que tu es allé habiter à Paris ? Est ce que tu as mangé des escargots ?
- Je ne peux pas faire du sport avec mes amis parce que je suis malade.
- Quand est ce que vous allez regarder le football ?

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 or maybe a petit level 1.

📚 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.

🗣You'll be learning from a **native French Speaker,** **Emma**, 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, we’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 to ensure everyone can practice and ask questions.

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 in a printed and online version, before/after each class, meaning you don't need to buy a book.

📌 Location: online - you won't need to download anything
