French 2

This course is for grades 9-12 who have taken a standard high school French 1 course.

This intermediate French course will build on the foundation laid in French 1. Each week, we will cover the standard vocabulary, grammar, and conversational elements of a typical high school French 2 course, while also reviewing the material covered in French 1.

This course is perfect for students who want structured lessons with real-world application, cultural enrichment, and interactive learning. It is designed to allow you to go as deep as you want into the language while building a strong foundation in grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The student will be expected to do regular homework from the BJU Activities Manual and French Two Years, supplementing with a variety of video, and practice orally with recordings the teacher will supply throughout the course. We will memorize Scripture verses and practice pronunciation. And every week, we will watch a short portion of Count of Monte Cristo and explore an iconic French song to improve vocabulary, pronunciation, rhythm, and cultural understanding.
