ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Feeling a little rusty on the basics? This 2-hour refresher brings the key grammar from Level 1 back together in one focused session.

Rather than relearning every lesson from scratch, you’ll revisit the core structures that everything else builds on and see how they work together in complete sentences. We’ll review present-tense verbs, articles, adjectives, adverbs, and your first way to talk about the future, with plenty of opportunities to put them back into practice.

Perfect if you’ve finished Level 1 but want to strengthen your foundation before moving on, or if you studied these concepts a while ago and could use a reset.

We’ll review:

  • Regular present-tense verbs
  • Essential irregular verbs: être, avoir, faire, and aller
  • Articles, noun gender, and plurals
  • Possessive and demonstrative determiners
  • Adjective agreement and placement
  • Adverbs
  • Prepositions
  • The near future (futur proche)
