About this course

A warm, conversation-first course for complete beginners that takes you from your first "bonjour" through a genuinely useful working vocabulary, all the way to A2 territory: past tense, more natural conversation, and the confidence to handle everyday situations without switching back to English. Built for weekend availability — one solid block each Saturday and Sunday — so the small room still gets 8 hours a week of real speaking practice.

What you'll achieve

Hold a real conversation in French about everyday life
Order, ask directions, and introduce yourself with ease

Build an accent you are not shy about
