 COURSE DESCRIPTION

This section covers the basic French phrases and vocabulary you must know to survive in France or some other French-speaking country you are visiting.

As we all know, France remains a popular travel destination for millions of tourists around the world. So every year, it’s around 87 millions visitors who make the journey to this Mediterranean country to enjoy its food, taste its wines and cheeses as well as experience its culture and beautiful.

However, without a basic knowledge of French (or at least its most common phrases), you will certainly experience a whole lot of problems and frustrations, which can and WILL make their journey quite painful (and a little embarrassing, to say the least).

This section is design to teach you the most basic French phrases and words in common social contexts (greetings, at the restaurant or hotel, etc.) I hope you find it useful.

TARGET AUDIENCE

• You are a complete or false beginner of French (although students at higher levels can still benefit from practicing with flashcards and from listening to the audio clips).
• You want to become quickly familiar with some useful and commonly-used French expressions in a wide range of social contexts.
• You don’t necessarily have French-speaking conversation partners readily available to start a simple Q&A talk.
• You’re looking to take your listening and speaking skills with confidence and at your own pace.

 REQUIREMENTS

• You must have a computer and it must be connected to the internet.
• Your computer must be equipped with built-in or external speakers to be able to listen to the recorded French audio segments.
• No prior knowledge of French is required as everything will be taught.
• You must, at least, be familiar with the English and/or French alphabet, and if you were able to follow me until now, chances are I don’t have to worry about it on that point.
