Prepares for
Level A1 · Beginner
Your first steps in French
Never studied French, or only remember a few words from school? A1 gives you solid foundations: clear pronunciation, essential vocabulary and the confidence to handle simple everyday conversations.
Who this level is for
A1 is for complete beginners and “false beginners” who studied a little in the past and want to restart properly. No prior knowledge is needed.
Lessons are taught mostly in French from day one, with English support whenever you need it. You'll learn to pronounce French clearly, master the essential grammar and handle the situations you meet first when travelling or settling in a French-speaking country.
By the end of A1, you can…
- Introduce yourself and others
- Ask and answer simple personal questions
- Order food and drinks in a café or restaurant
- Understand numbers, prices, dates and times
- Ask for and follow simple directions
- Fill in a simple form with your personal details
