Want to feel comfortable speaking French on your upcoming trip? Our French for Travelers course, for those who have an A2 - B1 level of French (A1 by recommendation of Instructor or Director) is a situational class designed to give you the understanding and confidence to speak French in the many situations which arise in a travel setting: transportation by air, train, bus, métro; asking for directions; lodging at a hotel, B&B, gite; getting money at an ATM or bank; ordering at a restaurant; getting tickets for a concert, play, or museum; shopping; and more. Throughout the course, there will be speaking practice with dialogues and exercises; video clips; tips on cultural expectations; tips on what to see and do that most tourists miss; and what to watch out for. The goal is for each student to be able to fearlessly and confidently engage in each of these situations. The course will be in French primarily, but some English will be used to clarify concepts as necessary.
