Choosing your level

French classes are currently offered at four levels: 'First steps', 'Threshold', 'Improvers' and Improvers Plus. The emphasis in all Snowdrop Language groups is on spoken French and being able to speak French in practical situations.

'First Steps' is for people who want to start, or re-start learning French conversation from the beginning.

Threshold groups are for people who are able to carry out basic activities such as shopping and want to start getting into conversation.

Improvers' groups are for people who already have some ability to converse about the past, present and future and want to build on this.

The Improvers Plus group is for people who are confident in speaking about the past present and future and want to converse about a variety of topics. This course includes elements of French and European culture and advanced grammatical points.
