The goal of this course is to give students basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through activities. Students learn to talk about themselves and others, describe their surroundings and use numbers for dates and time. Regular verbs are introduced in the present tense. Simple grammatical structures are practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind.

Culture is presented throughout the course to help students understand the context of the language and to better understand the perspectives of the French-speaking world.
