Optimizing your conversational skills is a powerful gateway to breaking down barriers and forging meaningful connections in French.
"Mastering the Art of Spoken French" was designed to be a positive and impactful learning experience. The course starts with the basics of spoken French (accentuation) and works its way up to the advanced concept of dislocation, which is prevalent in conversations yet not taught in regular French classes. The video lessons are short, concise and to the point. They will provide you with strategic tools to improve your understanding of spoken patterns in record time and bring you closer to fluency. Several practice activities will also help you process your new skills along the way.
I recommend you give yourself at least a week to complete the course and process its content. Since it's self-guided and offers lifetime access, you can really go at a pace that works for you! In addition to the practice activities, consider watching contemporary French movies and/or listening to modern French songs throughout the course... Let me know if you need recommendations :) You'll quickly start recognizing those spoken French patterns everywhere!
he course comprises 25 short video lectures covering various aspects of spoken French, 6 video practice activities to reinforce each unit (including answers & explanations), and 2 comprehensive video-based challenges with detailed PDF guides (including scripts, directions, and answers). The course also offers a recap video and 2 essential toolkits for easy reference whenever needed. Throughout the lessons, you'll have the opportunity to ask me questions in the Discussions area.
