Students will learn French conversational skills, grammar, usage, and mechanics, while learning to solve translations and honing their pronunciation and dictionary skills. As much as possible, students will be learning French interactively and naturally, through TPR (Total Physical Response), much in the same way one learns a maternal language. We will be using music, international signs, body language, and games during class, as well as reading short current event articles, graphic novels, and/or listening to short blogs. Students will learn basic greeting vocabulary, such as common expressions and commands, calendar items, weather, numbers, and action verbs; basic prepositions, and how to give and follow directions. Students will discuss hobbies, professions, likes and dislikes, as well as how to conjugate present verb tenses.

Basic familiarity with the French language is helpful.

Students are required to bring a few supplies to class. The list will be sent with the registration confirmation.

Here is what they are saying about Katy's Frence class for adults:

"Katy is a good teacher...knows her material, engages well with students."

"Katy is delightful and a wonderful teacher. We had a few fairly fluent members, a few with a bit of background and one beginner. She managed it all beautifully. The class was fun and we learned A LOT. Katy balanced vocabulary, grammar and conversation really well. We did fun games, too. The class was pure pleasure for me."
