Description
The French language is to many the language of love and romance. Well, it doesn’t stop there. The French language is widely spoken; there are an estimated 300 million French speakers worldwide, that makes French the 5th most widely spoken language on the planet and the only one, together with English, to be spoken on all five continents.
This introductory MOOC, presented by Edraak and endorsed by the French Institute in Amman, will provide you with a solid base in French upon which your knowledge builds up, and before you know it, you will find yourself progressing steadily. You will learn how to present yourself, express your likes and dislikes, your needs and your desires. You will also learn how to convey certain emotions and understand other speakers talking about themselves. You shall also talk about places, give reasons and explain your intentions. We will also learn to tell the time.
The technique lies not in memorizing but rather in understanding the structure of the sentence as each language has its own logic, leading you to become autonomous and the main objective of this MOOC can be summarized in one word: autonomy. Therefore, it’s important to write down notes, and go through them regularly in order to master the topics. At the end of the day, practice and repetition are essential in the language learning process.
