COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this French vocabulary course, we have grouped together several lessons teaching some phrases and words you are encouraged to use (without moderation) whenever you talk with French-speaking people. These phrases will help you make friends easily and present yourself properly when engaging your French-speaking interlocutors. Of course, you must do the same if you were talking with people speaking any other languages and not just French. A nice word can go a long way.

24 Lectures teaching you French courtesy words, how to greet and take leave, how to engage in small talk and much more. Be sure to head to the French training lab for more practice and support if needed.
