Fun in French with Shelley – All levels
/in French, Travel /by Shelley Dean* Beginner French
Course Description: This class will arm you with the basics for surviving in a French speaking country – greetings, shopping, eating out, meeting people etc. – in a fun, friendly interactive way. Speaking even a modest amount of French will have a tremendous pay-off in terms of enjoyment and interaction with the locals.
* Next Step after Beginners – Confidence Builder
Course outline: Class for those who have completed the 10 week beginner course and wish to build up confidence and extend their skills. This is also a good class for False Beginners – those who have done some French but a while ago and want to get back into the swing of things again. Emphasis on communication skills.
* Intermediate French – Use it, don’t lose it !
Course Description: If you have some beginner French, don’t want to lose it but also want to enjoy SPEAKING French rather than just reading it then this is the class for you. This course is adapted to suit the level of participating students. Lots of interaction covering useful social situations. Learning and fun combined.
* Advanced Conversational French – On parle de tout, on s’amuse, tout en français
Course Description: Learning and fun combined. This 8-10 week class operates on an on-going basis and is designed for students who wish to improve, regain or maintain their fluency. The class is conducted entirely in French.

Fun in French with Shelley – All levels
/in French, Travel /by Shelley Dean* Beginner French
Course Description: This class will arm you with the basics for surviving in a French speaking country – greetings, shopping, eating out, meeting people etc. – in a fun, friendly interactive way. Speaking even a modest amount of French will have a tremendous pay-off in terms of enjoyment and interaction with the locals.
* Next Step after Beginners – Confidence Builder
Course outline: Class for those who have completed the 10 week beginner course and wish to build up confidence and extend their skills. This is also a good class for False Beginners – those who have done some French but a while ago and want to get back into the swing of things again. Emphasis on communication skills.
* Intermediate French – Use it, don’t lose it !
Course Description: If you have some beginner French, don’t want to lose it but also want to enjoy SPEAKING French rather than just reading it then this is the class for you. This course is adapted to suit the level of participating students. Lots of interaction covering useful social situations. Learning and fun combined.
* Advanced Conversational French – On parle de tout, on s’amuse, tout en français
Course Description: Learning and fun combined. This 8-10 week class operates on an on-going basis and is designed for students who wish to improve, regain or maintain their fluency. The class is conducted entirely in French.

Fun in French with Shelley – All levels
/in French, Travel /by Shelley Dean* Beginner French
Course Description: This class will arm you with the basics for surviving in a French speaking country – greetings, shopping, eating out, meeting people etc. – in a fun, friendly interactive way. Speaking even a modest amount of French will have a tremendous pay-off in terms of enjoyment and interaction with the locals.
* Next Step after Beginners – Confidence Builder
Course outline: Class for those who have completed the 10 week beginner course and wish to build up confidence and extend their skills. This is also a good class for False Beginners – those who have done some French but a while ago and want to get back into the swing of things again. Emphasis on communication skills.
* Intermediate French – Use it, don’t lose it !
Course Description: If you have some beginner French, don’t want to lose it but also want to enjoy SPEAKING French rather than just reading it then this is the class for you. This course is adapted to suit the level of participating students. Lots of interaction covering useful social situations. Learning and fun combined.
* Advanced Conversational French – On parle de tout, on s’amuse, tout en français
Course Description: Learning and fun combined. This 8-10 week class operates on an on-going basis and is designed for students who wish to improve, regain or maintain their fluency. The class is conducted entirely in French.

Fun in French with Shelley – All levels
/in French, Travel /by Shelley Dean* Beginner French
Course Description: This class will arm you with the basics for surviving in a French speaking country – greetings, shopping, eating out, meeting people etc. – in a fun, friendly interactive way. Speaking even a modest amount of French will have a tremendous pay-off in terms of enjoyment and interaction with the locals.
* Next Step after Beginners – Confidence Builder
Course outline: Class for those who have completed the 10 week beginner course and wish to build up confidence and extend their skills. This is also a good class for False Beginners – those who have done some French but a while ago and want to get back into the swing of things again. Emphasis on communication skills.
* Intermediate French – Use it, don’t lose it !
Course Description: If you have some beginner French, don’t want to lose it but also want to enjoy SPEAKING French rather than just reading it then this is the class for you. This course is adapted to suit the level of participating students. Lots of interaction covering useful social situations. Learning and fun combined.
* Advanced Conversational French – On parle de tout, on s’amuse, tout en français
Course Description: Learning and fun combined. This 8-10 week class operates on an on-going basis and is designed for students who wish to improve, regain or maintain their fluency. The class is conducted entirely in French.
