This Breakthrough Language Boot Camp will Give you the Competency to Speak and Read Basic French in only 13 Sessions!

Created by French Tutor Marie Demene. This highly intensive, no-nonsense language boot camp is designed to fast-track your ability to learn the most fundamental French and speak in days not months!       

What is the French Boot camp?       

The French Boot camp is a NYC weekend program designed to give beginners the competency to speak and read basic French in 13 weekly (75 minute) sessions.       

Classes are organized and taught by Marie Demene and only maximum of five individuals are accepted per group. This small group approach ensures you will receive the utmost attention throughout the program.         

What is the Learning Method?       

This Boot Camp has only one goal: To give you the knowledge and tools to achieve basic French in 13 (75 minute) sessions.       

You will progressively learn to speak and read French by targeting the most fundamental topics with Marie’s proven three stage method: 1) Mastering Phonetics, 2) Learning critical verbs and vocabulary, 3) Learning Essential Grammar.       

Stage 1: Mastering French Phonology       

Every language has unique sound patterns known as phonemes. Phonemes are what set every language apart, and often result in the ‘accent’ you associate to any given language.       

Learning French begins by becoming aware and recognizing the specific phonemes of this language.       

In this first stage you will learn to identify and pronounce the French sound system including:        

• Consonants
• Low, Mid and Nasal Vowels
• Intonation
• Pronunciation stress
• Liaisons. 

 Stage 2: Critical verbs and vocabulary       

How good is a strong foundation if you don’t have the content to build up your French?       

Learning the essential verbs and vocabulary is the content that will boost your receptive and verbal skills. The more essential vocabulary you have, the more capacity you will have to transform your thoughts into spoken French. Most importantly, verbs are the key to understanding every written and spoken sentence.       

In this second stage, you will learn:       

• The most critical verbs & vocabulary
• Conjugation tenses: Present, Past tense, Imperfect & Future
• How to  greet others formally/informally
• Numbers
• Telling time
• Calendar days
• Family structure

 
Stage 3: Essential grammar       

Learning to combine words, such as verbs and adjectives to form proper sentences requires knowledge of basic grammar rules. In this final section, you will learn the basic rules to structure well-spoken sentences. You will also apply all your knowledge from the previous stages. The topics covered include       

• Adverbs
• Articles
• Expressions of times
• Interrogation
• Negation
• Nouns
•  Pronouns

What are the Sessions like?       

 Classes are very dynamic and require high degree of interaction between the instructor and participants. Sessions are structured to include theory followed by a series of individual and group exercises to put into practice learned concepts (‘learning by-doing’).       

These exercises heavily rely on multi-sensory experience and will often include visual, auditory and tactile materials. Above all, you will have the opportunity to practice your French by interacting with other members from your group.       

What is included in this program?       

This program is all inclusive of materials, including weekly handouts, homework to reinforce learning and lists of resources for audio podcasts. All you need is a pen and a notepad.       

What is the fee and schedule?
