Start here if you've never studied French before or if you've taken a decade off and need a refresher.
You'll learn the necessary foundation for fluency, such as introducing yourself, describing your likes and dislikes, and talking about your friends and hobbies. View the full curriculum here.
With a small group (averaging six students per class and capped at ten), you'll have an opportunity to engage in conversational French with other language learners with realtime feedback from the instructor.
By the end of our level one course, you’ll have the foundation to conjugate verbs in the present tense and be able to hold basic conversations, order food when dining out, or go shopping in French.
William has been teaching French with us since 2013. He has a B.A. in French and an M.A. in French Literature from NYU. Having spent three semesters abroad in Paris as well as time in Montreal, he loves the culture and history of France and Canada. He is also a movie lover and always ready to give French-language movie suggestions. Outside of French, he enjoys photography and cooking.
He's enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very good at explaining language rules. Also, and this is an important one when learning a new language, he's patient.
