Continue developing your beginner French fluency and confidence with our Beginner French: A2.2 Course, suitable for learners who have completed our Beginner French: A2.1 Course or have approximately 100 hours of prior study. This course develops your ability to communicate confidently in travel and everyday situations by planning trips, describing destinations and accommodation, talking about seasons and weather, and expressing emotions and personal impressions.

You will broaden your French vocabulary through topics including travel, accommodation, places, weather and everyday descriptions while developing grammar such as the simple future, the pronoun y, adjective placement and common sentence patterns for describing people, places and experiences. Pronunciation continues to strengthen through work on nasal vowels and consonant groupings to improve natural spoken French.
