€800.00€650.00

What will you learn at the A1 Level?

Regardless of the chosen method, the scope of the A1 level will cover:

  1. Phonetics and Alphabet: Understanding the pronunciation of letters and different sounds (oral and nasal).

  2. Greetings and Introductions: Saying your name, asking how someone is doing, and talking about your profession and nationality.

  3. Essential Grammar: Articles (gender and number), pronouns, forming questions, and conjugating fundamental verbs in the present tense (such as être, avoir, and regular verbs ending in -er).

  4. Practical Situations: Shopping at the supermarket, interacting in a restaurant, or checking into a hotel.

A schedule of 15 hours per week (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM) corresponds to a classic semi-intensive or intensive French course structure.

This daily rhythm is highly effective for beginners because constant, everyday exposure drastically speeds up retention and builds speaking confidence.

⏱️ Typical Morning Structure (3 Hours)

To keep your energy and focus high, a 3-hour morning session is usually split into two blocks with a short break:

  • 09:00 AM – 10:30 AM (Block 1: Structure & Vocabulary): Introduction to the day's theme (e.g., ordering food, checking into a hotel). You will learn the necessary grammar rules, sentence structures, and vocabulary.

  • 10:30 AM – 10:45 AM: Coffee break.

  • 10:45 AM – 12:00 PM (Block 2: Active Practice): Communication workshops. You will participate in role-playing games, listening comprehension exercises (watching video clips or audio tracks), and pronunciation practice.

📅 Weekly Progression (Monday to Friday)

To cover the vast amount of material in the A1 curriculum without feeling overwhelmed, the week is organized systematically:

  • Monday (Introduction): Starting a new theme. You will explore authentic materials (like menus, maps, or short dialogues) and learn core vocabulary.

  • Tuesday & Wednesday (Consolidation): Deep dive into grammar and verb conjugations. You will complete written exercises and start basic pair-work conversations.

  • Thursday (Active Production): Heavy focus on speaking and listening. You will simulate real-life interactions, such as buying a train ticket or asking for directions in the street.

  • Friday (Review & Culture): A weekly review and mini-quiz to track your progress, followed by an introduction to French culture (idioms, traditions, or music).

⏳ Total Time to Complete Level A1

At a pace of 15 hours per week, it typically takes 4 to 6 weeks (roughly 60 to 90 total class hours) to completely finish the A1 level. By the end of this period, you will be fully capable of handling simple, everyday survival situations in a French-speaking environment.
