French for Travel

COURSE DESCRIPTION

French for Travel is a short 4-week course for beginners who intend to travel to a French-speaking country. You will learn how to handle everyday situations on your next trip to France or Quebec in Canada, through interactive lessons, practice sheets, audio practice and so much more. The course will emphasize common phrases and travel vocabulary, but will also cover many basics of the French language, and give you some insight into French customs and culture.

What exactly will you learn?

All the basic spoken French needed for a successful stay or holiday in a French-speaking country!

Introduce yourself and ask basic questions
Order food and beverages
Ask for directions

This travel French course focuses less on the rules of grammar and more on the basics of what you need to know to make your vacation a memorable one and feel more confident in your next trip to a French speaking country.

You will be invited to join Google Classroom 2 weeks before class starts, which is the platform we use for all our classes. Check your spam folder, as invitations to join Google Classroom sometimes end up there. Please make sure you register for the course with a valid email address, since this is where you will receive the invitation. Your email has to be Google compatible, so it’s best to use gmail, outlook, hotmail or yahoo. If you do not receive a notification to join Google Classroom, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact us.
