What Beginner (A1) French means

At A1 French, learners are beginning to use familiar words and simple sentences in predictable everyday situations.

  • Introduce yourself

    Je m’appelle Léa. J’habite à Londres et je travaille dans un café.

    My name is Léa. I live in London and I work in a café.

  • Order in a café

    Je voudrais un café et un croissant, s’il vous plaît.

    I would like a coffee and a croissant, please.

  • Ask for directions

    Excusez-moi, où est la gare ?

    Excuse me, where is the station?

These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.

About this course

The course extends everyday French through discussion of hobbies, home, the local area, weather and health. Participants develop their use of present-tense verbs, including irregular forms, and practise expressing themselves in longer sentences. Alongside speaking, the course continues work on reading and writing. Cultural content provides context for understanding French-speaking communities and the wider francophone world.
