COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this section, we will learn the French words and vocabulary related to nature.

The French tend to be very nature-conscious. As evidence, they were among the first to establish a Ministère de l’Environnement (1971). Also, although France is one of the most industrialized countries on the planet, she manages to maintain a low carbon footprint when compared to less populous countries such as Australia or Canada.
In this course, we will introduce you to some of the most common French words relating to the topic of environment.

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 be able to easily describe natural elements as they happen around you.
• 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.
