Although it will vary the main level of this class will be working towards the European Language Levels of A1 to B1. This is the equivalent of the minimum level required to apply for French citizenship (B1).
The main resources and ideas will be linked here...

To help improve your listening and tune your ear to the sound of the language, you can use the many resources provided on the internet. There are a lot of free to air radio stations out there and this website helps you tune in to the free stations...
It is generally expected that you should be totally familiar with and have mastered the ins and outs of French verb formation and most grammar (The Improvers Class spends much time on this very thing).
We will look at some grammar as and when it comes up as an issue in this class, but Tense formation is something that will be a common feature.
For help with French tense formation, (and as a reference if you are not sure about these verb endings), do look at the blog page created that takes you through, step by step French verb formation.
This blog page will help you find out how to get all those accents on your various devices.
Courses will begin again in September. They will be on the college's Highbury Campus and we should be on the ground floor just near reception if all goes well.
By my calculations, the lessons will be on Mondays evenings at 7:00 pm. On September 19th, 26th, October 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 31st. November 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th.

Monday, 9th May
Most of you know each other, but not everyone does. So, we will look at some things to get you talking about you and why you are here tonight.
We will do a small placement exercise to see if you are working above level A2 - If you generally do well I will be able to better plan for the rest of the classes being B1-C1.
In the first lesson, we will look at what motivates you to improve your French, why you have signed up and what you are looking to get from the class (so I can best prepare the next 7 weeks!) It is also the way we can get to know each other (for any people who were not in this class before).
It would be useful if you can think of a few general themes and topics you would like to study. In particular any grammatical features you feel you need to improve on. I will otherwise choose various topics and items I find in my perusal of the Francophone internet and news and possibly from one or two course books I have at my disposal.
Voici quelques questions pour vous faire parler aujourd'hui:
Pourquoi voulez-vous améliorer votre français?
Parlez-nous de la dernière fois que vous êtes allé(e)s en France...
Que faites-vous dans la vie?
