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 develops French for everyday situations through present-tense verbs, including common irregular forms. Learners work with vocabulary for hobbies, accommodation, local surroundings, weather and basic health concerns, using the language in both spoken and written forms. It also introduces cultural practices and etiquette in French-speaking countries, with opportunities to compare them with learners’ own cultural contexts. The course focuses on extending simple communication into more detailed sentences and responses.

What you'll learn

  • Describe hobbies and other leisure activities using regular and common irregular present-tense verbs.
  • Discuss accommodation, housing and local surroundings with relevant French vocabulary.
  • Describe weather conditions in simple spoken and written French.
  • Communicate basic health problems and understand simple responses.
  • Explain selected cultural practices and etiquette in French-speaking countries.

Is this course right for you?
