What you can expect from your French course
Grammar
No interpretation is created equal. Grammar Notes, color-coding, and features that focus on specific grammatical nuances between target and source language strengthen your understanding of French structure.

Etiquette, body language and gestures set the mood. Culture Notes provide a backdrop to learning material and let French culture come alive, setting you up to forge deeper connections and make a positive impression.
Vocabulary

Pronunciation
Didn't catch that? Hear it again at conversational speed, hover for phonetics, or click a word for an articulated narration. Tune your accent against native-speaker audio with the voice comparison tool.

Specialty Courses
Go deeper with French specialty courses
Beyond the core French course, focused units take you into specific topics, traditions, and contexts.
Argot French
Trade the textbook for the street with a chapter set at a party, where French is spoken the way native speakers actually use it. You'll discuss your future plans, talk about how you're getting around, and pick up the slang that shapes real, contemporary French conversation.
Romance
Set in a casual drinks scenario, this chapter teaches the French of striking up a conversation, asking about someone's habits, offering to buy them a drink, and using terms of endearment, the building blocks of any flirtatious exchange.
Wine and Cheese
A quintessentially French topic gets a chapter of its own. You'll learn to make a suggestion, order wines and cheeses, and use the idiomatic expressions that surround them, enough to navigate a cheese plate or a wine list with confidence.
