Goal: Build a strong foundation in real-life French conversation using essential phrases, pronunciation support, and contextual grammar.
1. Greeting and Politeness Basics
Start with friendly expressions used daily in France:
Bonjour — Hello
Comment allez-vous ? — How are you?
Merci beaucoup — Thank you very much
Students practice these using a model–guided–independent approach:
First, listen to a model and repeat.
Then, practice together with instructor support.
Finally, try independently with instant pronunciation feedback for clarity and confidence.
️ 2. Practical Phrases for Real Situations
Build confidence with everyday communication:
Je m'appelle... — My name is...
Où est la gare ? — Where is the train station?
Combien ça coûte ? — How much does it cost?
These phrases are reinforced through scaffolded dialogues, such as short role-plays in cafés, shops, and travel settings, allowing gradual, supported conversation practice.
3. Grammar in Context: Être & Avoir
Instead of memorizing conjugations, students learn basic grammar through meaningful use:
Être (to be): Je suis étudiant — “I am a student”
Avoir (to have): J’ai un livre — “I have a book”
By seeing these verbs in sentences, learners naturally understand sentence structure and subject–verb agreement.
4. Learning Outcomes
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
Greet others politely and respond appropriately.
Introduce themselves and ask basic questions.
Use key verbs (être, avoir) in simple, meaningful sentences.
Speak with improved pronunciation and confidence.
