French: Introductory French Fluency
LAFR-40044
This course serves as a bridge between the French language sequence (French for Communication 1-5) and the Refining Fluency in French series. It is designed for students who have had an overview of French grammar and acquired some general vocabulary, but need additional practice in order to integrate what they have learned and build the confidence necessary for participating in higher-level conversation. An engaging selection of French films will serve as the basis for a wide variety of exercises. Students will be able to hone their language skills while getting exposure to a variety of linguistic contexts and slices of French life.
