In the first week an introduction to grammatical terms and sentence structure is given. Then, during the course, grammar is introduced appropriately whenever it helps the process of understanding and learning to speak correctly. Each day, you will have a mix of lessons, practice sessions, and activities to reinforce what you have learned. By the end of the course, you will feel more confident and capable of speaking French with ease and correctness in a variety of situations.
