Practical French
 

Teacher: Reginald RUIS

Course Outline

French has always been the language for romanticism and no doubt it is! The soft and singing intonation makes it one very pleasant language to listen to and with the following course, you now have the chance to experiment it with a dedicated French native speaker who will communicate his love of it.

 This course is geared towards beginners but can also be taken by people who already have some knowledge but want to improve their pronunciation and grammar. The book Reflets (1) will be used for this course. The course will focus on teaching the basic grammatical structures and vocabulary needed for everyday situations. You will get ample practice with role-plays while gaining insight into French culture. Instruction will take place in English and French with a higher percentage of French as the class progresses.
