Apply for this course
On the French Intermediate course C you will learn to describe past and future events with a chronology. You will build short narratives with greater confidence, relate events, incidents or accidents, deal with various operations at the bank and at the post office, present causes and consequences in events with an argumentation, and guide others to a place or around a house. You will use French web pages and short videos for information and conversation.
You will narrate and give your opinions about how things used to be, contribute to a book and a film review, and hold dialogues at the bank, at the post office, and at the estate agent. You will plan activities for the coming weeks or for the next ten years, explain what kind of actions to take for a house move, discuss ways of organising one, and list DIY items and actions needed. You will provide some advice to prevent accidents. You will use three past tenses and make suggestions and elaborate hypotheses.
