Course Details

French I introduces students to the French language and culture. Beginning students focus on understanding the language and speaking it in short conversations. As they advance, they learn to read and write French, but throughout the year, the focus remains on oral communication. Through the use of various media, students are aided in their study of French through music, art, and cuisine. To further increase their understanding of French and Francophone culture, students begin to correspond with young people in French-speaking countries.
