For our fifth graders:

What you should know about French classes at GyRa so you can confidently choose your second foreign language is in this video:

French as a third foreign language

BONJOUR CA VA? JE T’AIME! – Where's the problem?
CREPES CROQUE MONSIEUR BAGUETTE – sounds nice…

Do you speak English? – Yes – of course – that is taken for granted nowadays and it is becoming increasingly important to master at least one more living foreign language. French is a good option, this elegant language that sounds like music to the ears, spoken in many countries around the world and the gateway to the Mediterranean Romance culture.

In the first year, basic knowledge is taught so that you can communicate in everyday situations and already understand and write simple texts. Country studies, music, etc. are added.

Oral skills are, of course, very important; in addition, two exams per semester are written and with vocabulary learning you ensure a “secure bet” for the participation grade. This course is designed for 3 years, so you would thus be “in the game.”

What? French is difficult? You have to work hard to get a good grade! Have you heard all that? Well: pay attention to who says it, how they study, ask more questions, check with several people…

ALORS, ON SE VERRA?!? A BIENTOT!!!
