Course outline (applicable to the remainder Semester 1, 2024, and Semester 1, 2025)
11.30am – 1.00pm Friday 2025 Course commencing 31st January 2025 – Language Room
This course will enable you, as a beginner, or experienced but perhaps ‘rusty’ user of the language, to rapidly get your French ‘on track’ towards a more than satisfactory level of fluency. The most effective elements of recently developed programmes will be used, most importantly in an immersion setting, embedded in a flow of fun classroom interactions, to give you confidence in speaking and writing.
