Description
Subject Area: French Studies
The French-speaking world represents one of the biggest linguistic zones in the world with an estimated 274 million French-speakers on all five continents. French is not only the official language of many international institutions but it is also the language of a rich, vibrant and diverse community of speakers, making it a very valuable choice in language study. This course will be perfect for you if you have no (or very little) previous knowledge of the language: it will take you through the basics of language acquisition and introduce you to elements of French culture: you will gain the basic competencies necessary to speak and write about yourself and your immediate environment in French and you will be able to introduce yourself, your family and your friends and even order food from a restaurant in Paris!
This course is a beginners-level language course. All students who have had some experience with the language, either as a heritage language or through previous instruction, must fill in the placement questionnaire available at https://hal.arts.unsw.edu.au/students/courses/language-placements. You will not be permitted to enrol in a language course that is too easy for you. If this occurs, you will be requested to change your enrolment.
