20 lessons, Beginner (A1)
Learn French in short chat lessons
The French course is 20 lessons for beginners, in the standard French of France. It starts with le, la and saying who you are.
What the course covers
Le and la and the gender every noun carries, je suis and c'est, and the everyday phrases of a first week in France. Accents, ç and œ are always written.
How a lesson works
A few lines in a chat, then a question. The reply under your answer explains the words. Every word can be played aloud, which helps with the letters French does not pronounce.
