Bonjour! There are so many things to love about the French language! The aesthetic of the language itself and the culture surrounding it are just two of the many things we will learn about the French language in this 8-week class. Each week will involve learning some vocabulary, some grammar, and a bit of French culture. There will be no live meetings, but students will watch videos that I have pre-recorded, as well as submitting work to me, sharing work with other students, and group collaborations. Students will also receive access to the PowerPoint presentations used in class. Homework will be a combination of assignments submitted to just me, assignments for peer feedback, and collaborations with other students.
