Designed to introduce students to French language and culture, French I emphasizes basic grammar and syntax, simple vocabulary, and the spoken accent so that students can read, write, speak, and understand the language at a basic level within predictable areas of need, using customary courtesies and conventions. French culture is introduced through the art, literature, customs, and history of the French-speaking people.
FRENCH1_registrationvideo.mp4French 1 starts with the basics (alphabet, numbers, greetings) and builds on that foundation. Over the course of the year, we learn to describe ourselves, our friends and family, our hobbies, our classes and our school, and we finish with a unit in which we learn to order food and drinks in a French cafe.
Students are expected to speak, read, write, and understand spoken French at a beginner level. Repetition is key to learning a language, so we practice in class, play games, and participate in activities that let students learn the language. In addition to vocabulary and grammar, we learn about the customs and culture of France and the entire French-speaking world. A focus for all levels of French is current events and popular music. French is the fifth most-widely spoken language and growing! Get in on the fun by learning French next year!
