If you’ve always wanted to discover French, but don’t really know what to expect, sign up for an Intro to French class!
You have never taken French before, or you have, long ago, but you don’t remember much of it. Get started and sign up for our beginner level class!
You know how to introduce yourself, build a basic sentence in French, and conjugate regular verbs in the present. Keep going, you’re on the right track!
You can hold your own in basic conversation, and explain what you did yesterday or last year, using the right tense. You are ready to take your French further.
You have accumulated a certain amount of vocabulary and you’re starting to have a full grasp on the spectrum of French tenses. Your efforts are really starting to pay off.
You feel fairly confident using all major tenses. You have the grammatical framework necessary to talk about a variety of topics, but you still make some mistakes. You need to tighten up the loose ends.
At this point, you mostly need conversation practice and to polish up your already extensive grammar skills. Your French is solid, you want to keep expanding your vocab and improving the fluidity of your speech.
Your French is impressive, you probably spent some time in France or studied it for a long time. You want to maintain your conversation skills, learn more about French culture and meet fellow francophiles.
