About

This course is for beginners who are interested in French. We will be focussing on speaking the language in a more conversational aspect, and being able to read and write as well. 

There will be some revision google forms, and we will be able to add more sessions according to strengths and weaknesses. 

A fun activity i plan to include is storytelling in the last 10 minutes of each class, and maybe discussing it. At the end, I will be able to help you write your own short French story!
