Fast Track A1.1 6:00-8:30 p.m.

Fast Track

Fast Track A1.1 is for false beginners, i.e., students who have had some French, but remember little.  This class meets twice a week for 2.5 hours and entails 2 to 3 hours of homework per week.  The emphasis in this class is on very basic conversational skills.  After having successfully completed French A1.1, you will be able to introduce yourself and others, answer basic questions regarding your life, and express personal likes and dislikes.  You will also have learned the French alphabet, numbers and basic vocabulary.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS:  Cosmopolite 1 (textbook and workbook), which will be used in each class of the A1 level (A1.1, A1.2, A1.3, and A1.4). In French A1.1, Dossiers 0, 1, and 2 will be covered. 

MEMBERSHIP: As a membership based non-profit organization, we require that all students be members of Alliance Française de Denver.  Our memberships are valid for one year.

NEW STUDENTS: If you have taken French before, we suggest you take our free placement test to ensure you are starting at the right level.
