Conversational French Elementary 1

Wednesdays, 10-11.30am – £56 for a block of 4 weeks

You have studied French at basic level and you are ready to start talking! This is the course for you: thanks to carefully designed exercises, your communicating skills will improve.

You can expect to learn more about the past and future tenses, whilst consolidating what you have already acquired.

We will be following a specific training programme, but this does not mean this will be definite and fixed: for me, it is important to follow the group’s needs, and adapt the course to your needs, rather than to what I have planned originally!

By the end of the course, you will have increased confidence with speaking and will be able to cope well with basic conversation, and you will be able to handle short newspaper articles etc…

Contact Lise today to check if this is the right class for you: Free 30 minutes assessment of your present level!

Students benefit from reduced rates on presentation of their NUS card for individual tuition

Whatever your own circumstances may be, our individual tuition is tailor-made for you, using carefully designed material, or on occasion manuals if we feel you may respond better to a more traditional method of learning. All training material used in class is included in the fees, so there will be no nasty surprises – and the materials are yours to keep: no one will ask you to give them back at the end of the course!

After your free 30 minutes consultation, Lise will advise you as to what solution will be most suited to your individual needs, and she will devise a training plan which will be emailed or sent to you before the first lesson is arranged, so you get a chance to have your say about what you will learn!

Lise Morel has over 20 years of experience in language training, and knows all the tricks of the trade – you will quickly speak (and listen!), through a range of interactive techniques.

Contact Lise now to arrange your meeting!

A choice of tea, coffee or herbal tea is available free of charge during the lesson.
