General French A2

About this course

This course takes you beyond the basics so you can talk about what you have done, describe the world around you and manage routine situations with more confidence. It follows the A2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), adding the past tenses, comparisons and pronouns you need for real conversations.

Each class mixes speaking, listening, reading and writing through practical tasks such as booking a trip, visiting the doctor or writing an email to a friend. You finish with an Alalamia certificate and are ready for B1.
