This course is for those who already know enough French to manage everyday situations  and to be able to hold a conversation on general topics such as travel, hobbies etc. You should have a good knowledge of the basics of French grammar and be ready to move on to more advanced topics and grammatical constructions. We will build on existing knowledge to improve confidence, accuracy and vocabulary and the correct use of all the tenses.
