    Join me for an extensive series of 3 French sessions where we learn about the most widely used French sentences in everyday conversations, which each person will deal with during the day, in the form of conversations, and to express their correct pronunciation and meanings. These sessions are best for travelers and those who wish to learn basic and useful conversations without worrying about grammar. These conversations take place in public and common spaces such as shops, hotels, restaurants, streets, etc., and therefore it can be said that they include the most used sentences for conversation. During each lesson, a fast and native pronunciation of some sentences will be introduced as well. The purpose of these sessions is not to teach grammar, but in general, to teach conversational language in everyday situations so you can either learn them or memorize them because they are very useful. This event is for beginner and intermediate learners who are somewhat familiar with the basics of French language, however complete beginners are also welcome if they can catch up. We’ll be speaking French and English for 50 minutes at each event. Agenda: Welcome (~3 mins): Let’s get to know each other and talk about what we’ll do. Lesson (~45 mins): practice, read, translate and pronunciation (everyone takes turns reading) Closing (-2 mins): Time for questions, feedback.

    Lower Intermediate (4 weeks course - events 1 to 4) This is a lower intermediate level (A2-B1) course, therefore you need a basic knowledge of French and we will be speaking both English and French. During the event, I will help you with any questions or doubts you may have. This is a great opportunity to practice French in a relaxed space, make mistakes, ask questions, and have fun! During these events, I will be discussing commonly used conversational phrases as native French people use them. I have gathered these sentences with much attention. You will definitely use them whenever you go to a French-speaking country or encounter a French national! Lesson 1: verb in conditional form - using "had better", "it seems...", "I almost ..." and alike; Lesson 2: the tense " Past continuons = imparfait"; Lesson 3: daily reactions; Lesson 4: vocabulary & commonly used conversational phrases. I look forward to meeting you! Agenda: Welcome (~5 mins): Let’s get to know each other and talk about what we’ll do.
