Beginning French: French for Travelers

About this course:

This course is designed to equip students with practical, fundamental knowledge of French to better navigate and appreciate a trip to France or a French-speaking country. Before each class session, students read a brief chapter from a French phrasebook on a particular communicative topic. Then, students come to class to learn more about the words and expressions presented in the chapter, and practice expressing themselves in real-world communicative contexts. This course is recommended for those planning a trip and who would like to express simple and practical needs in French, ideal for complete beginners, or as a refresher or supplement for students with some prior knowledge of French. This course is conducted in English and French. Suggested book: Lonely Planet French Phrase Book & Dictionary, 2023.
