Approach
You work alternately in pairs, small groups and classrooms. You will practice intensively with conversations on familiar and current topics, such as travel, tourism and the French media. We also read and discuss French literature and poetry. In the classes you will speak French as much as possible, so you will make faster progress and build more self-confidence.

You will work with the book Édito B1 (édition 2022-2024), a widely used method for learning French. During the course, the book will be supplemented with additional assignments and exercises. For self-study you will receive teaching materials and assignments, which will be discussed during the meetings. Before the start of the course we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials, so that you can start your lessons well prepared.
