This class is designed for students who have completed A1.3 or higher (the equivalent of approximately 80 hours of French study). It is ideal for those looking to brush-up after a break from French, or wanting support before moving up a level.

A1 review will cover foundational topics in elementary French. This includes gender of nouns, present tense of major irregular verbs, passé composé and imparfait, and futur simple. Students will practice speaking on basic topics familiar to them, reading documents at an A1 or low-A2 level, and listening to documents based on basic, everyday conversations.   
Pace: 2 hours over 6 weeks

This is a hybrid class; Mondays will take place in-person at Downing street. Wednesday classes will happen online via Zoom.
