LANG:Language & Culture;LANGS:Languages *VID* *KEYB* Me, myself and I. If you're someone with a very limited knowledge of French, we've got one word for you: "bienvenue." You've come to the right place. This course will help you learn to speak about yourself: who you are, what you like and don't like, where you're from, etc. And because conversation is a two-way street, you'll also learn to ask people about themselves and improve your ability to understand their answers. In simple terms, you'll learn the basics of getting by and that alone will open up whole new experiences for you here in Montréal. *This course is scheduled in two modalities; online synchronous and in person to suit your learning preference and lifestyle. *CNT* This course is a great way to help you: • Follow simple instructions and give simple descriptions; • Describe yourself in detail and ask others about themselves; • Become more spontaneous when speaking; • Structure simple written sentences; • Build vocabulary and choose the right words; • Understand the Québécois accent; • Broaden your academic, social and professional horizons. *APP* This program takes an integrative approach to language learning that is collaborative, experiential, student-centered and community-based. In short, you’ll learn by doing, sharing, exchanging and… living en français. *WHO* • Anyone who wants to start learning French. • Students who want to work towards a Certificate of Proficiency in French. • People trying to enter the job market or improve their employment opportunities. • Anyone who wants to discover the French-Canadian culture. *ADD* Any student entering the program must take a placement test interview in order to determine their level in the program.
