Welcome to French 1A, a year-long online introductory course. My goal is to expose you to the language, culture, art, music, poetry/proverbs and geography of France with a particular emphasis on Paris.
You will be introduced to grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, and listening in French during our class time, as well as practice these components as homework, in between our class meetings.
By the end of this school year, my hope is to have you communicating in French about your hobbies, preferences, your family, the weather, and order at a French restaurant/café. We will also spend some time practicing how to navigate around Paris.
Together, let's enjoy a rich feast of French language and culture that will ignite a desire to travel abroad and to feel comfortable spending time visiting a French-speaking country. I’m excited about all we will learn together this year!
* All classes will be recorded and a link will be provided each week for review or in case of absence.
