This course is for anyone who has studied some French before (approx. 20 hours tuition) and wishes to improve on their basic knowledge.

Lessons take place on Tuesdays between 7.30 to 9pm. All students are expected to attend all of their timetabled sessions on time, unless prior arrangement has been made and agreed with their tutor.

Please note: If you are more than ten minutes late for class, you may be asked to leave, and if you miss three consecutive weeks without notice, you'll automatically be withdrawn from the course.

While you will not receive a formal qualification, this fun and informative course will help expand and practise your skills in French.
