Sophie, agente immobilière

Coffee at seven, clients all morning, flats all afternoon. Her day gives you the first and largest family of French verbs, the ones in -er.

Leçon 2 · Bordeaux

Julien, restaurateur de livres

He repairs books from 1830 and works on purpose slowly. His day gives you the second family, the verbs in -ir, and the verbs of slow change: jaunir, vieillir, durcir.

Is this course for you?

It is written for English speakers who are beginners in French. Every rule is explained in English, every text is translated, and every sentence has its pronunciation. Adults only in one sense: the stories are about work, time and craft, not about coloured pencils. If you have already met être, you are ready.
