Gentle French Level 2 | Afternoons

About this course

The course develops French through grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and regular speaking practice. Participants discuss their learning journeys and motivations, describe people and places, talk about study and work, and use dates, years and key verb structures in context. Each lesson combines coursebook-based study with a communicative activity such as a role-play, speaking game, cultural exploration or short presentation. The teacher speaks French throughout, while the course also explores La Francophonie, including French-speaking communities, countries and cultural figures.
