    3 Minute French - Course 3 | Language lessons for beginners

    This is the third course in the 3 Minute French series and it consists of lessons 19-26. The lessons in this course follow on from course 1 and course 2. In the third course of the 3 Minute French series, we delve into a few French nuances. We'll look at some new verbs and learn how they are used differently in French to how they're used in English. We'll also begin to look at a very useful tool for new language learners: directions. Learning how to ask for directions is invaluable, because it will very often be one of the easiest ways for you to start to tune your ear into the French language. I'll give you a few tips on how to do this. The sentences in this course might seem a little longer than the ones we've been used to, so far, but this is a great way for you to get your tongue around the French pronunciation. By saying long sentences to yourself over and over, you'll really be able to get to grips with speaking French. We'll also be learning lots of prepositions, new adjectives and plenty of adverbs, plus some more Vocabulary Expansion Sheets that will make our sentences amazing! We'll be looking at ways to give your opinion on things, and we'll get introduced to some very interesting language features with plenty of practice for you to really get your head around them. Finally, at the end of this course, you will find an extra section. To round off the tourism theme of the first three courses in the series, I have created a bumper recap section containing a plethora of examples and practise exercises to recap all the words and phrases we've learnt so far. This course really rounds off the first three courses of the 3 Minute French series, and gets you ready to move onto the next course, which will take your French to the next level. Happy learning

    3 Minute French - Course 2 | Language lessons for beginners

    This is the second course in the 3 Minute French series and it consists of lessons 10-18. If you're familiar with all the words and phrases you learnt in the course 1, then you're ready to go! The good thing about the 3 Minute French courses is that everything you learn is recapped in later lessons, so you don't have to worry about going back to the start to refresh your memory (although you can if you like, it won't harm you). At the end of every lesson are some recap practice exercises to make sure words and phrases you learnt previously are still secure in your memory. In this course, you'll start to look at some different sentence structures in French. You'll be looking at some ways to ask questions and then you'll get an introduction to a very useful part of the language: verbs. All of this will open up the French language to you, giving you many more things to say. Don't worry if you've never come across verbs before, or if you've had a bad experience with learning grammar; everything in this course is explained in a simple and easy to understand way. As well as the new structures, we'll be exploring some new topic areas including telling the time in French, booking taxis and asking where things are. We'll also look at an interesting linguistic feature in English called the Saxon Genitive, and we'll discover that it doesn't exist in French so we'll need ways to get around it. The best way to tackle the trickier features of any language is to spread them out rather than looking at them all at once. Sometimes, when you open a foreign language instruction book, all the linguistic features of the language are introduced on the first page, and it can often be very off putting! In the 3 Minute French courses, I have broken them down and spread them about. We look at each particular feature when it crops up naturally in the order of the course. In this course, there are a few such features that need explaining in order to understand how some of the French structures work. In this course, there are also some more Vocabulary Expansion Sheets for you to boost your French vocabulary. I hope you enjoy :-) Kieran
