**⭐ French A2 Course – Intermediate Beginner Level (10 Weeks) ⭐**
in a SMALL group setting with 6 students maximum

\*\*\*
**Overview**

This A2-level course is designed for learners who already have a basic understanding of French and want to build greater fluency and accuracy in everyday communication.

Over 10 weeks, students will strengthen their ability to speak, understand, read, and write in French through real-life contexts and guided practice.

The course offers structured lessons, engaging conversation practice, and regular feedback to help students become more independent and confident in using French at an elementary level.

Students will learn to describe their daily life in more detail, express preferences and opinions, talk about the past and future, and navigate social and practical situations.

Classes are dynamic, interactive, and supportive — ideal for learners who want to expand their vocabulary, solidify their grammar, and feel more natural when speaking.

\*\*\*

**Target audience**

This course is ideal for:

\* Learners who have completed an A1 course or have basic knowledge of French
\* People preparing for immigration, studies, or work in a French-speaking environment
\* Students seeking a structured, intermediate-level program to improve fluency, accuracy, and communication skills
\* Adults who want to speak with more confidence and better handle common everyday situations

\*\*\*

Comparable courses over 10 weeks cost approximately $600 CAD in Toronto and NYC, with the Alliance Française or other schools.

During the first meeting, we will go over the overall structure of the A1 French course, explain how the documents are organized, show you how to make copies, where to add your homework (in Tab 2), and answer any practical questions you may have.

This introduction (covering all practical details) is only covered in the very first group meeting. To respect those who attended from the beginning, these topics will not be repeated in later sessions (weeks 2–10). If you join after the first meeting, please note that this information will not be re-explained.
