About This Class
Hello and welcome to “3 Minute French - Course 8” The aim of this course is to make French accessible to anybody regardless of age, educational background or "aptitude" for learning. This course leads on from "3 Minute French – Courses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7" and new language structures are introduced to enable you to communicate in more situations when on holiday abroad.
My method for teaching French is simple but effective. It works for anybody, no matter what your requirements. I have been teaching foreign languages for over ten years and I’ve taught a wide range of students of all ages and backgrounds, including students with learning difficulties, so I know my method is accessible to absolutely anyone, with no exception.
With this course, it’s almost as if you have your very own language tutor at your beck and call. Take it with you wherever you are and have a quick listen to one of the lessons whenever you find yourself with three minutes to spare. You will be amazed at how much your language skills will develop after just a few minutes a day of study. You will start to learn the French language in a simple, logical and fun way.
You will learn a variety of words that you will learn to put together to form sentences that will be useful in any visit to France or any other French speaking country, and you'll learn how to put the words together to form sentences, saying exactly what you want.
PROGRESS TO THE NEXT COURSE
Once you have completed this course, if you would like to learn more French using the same method, you can wait for course 9 (coming soon!) or find my other French courses. Here are the links:
Additionally, I have a series of French courses called “Building Structures”. These courses use the same method found in the 3 Minute French courses, but they focus on building fluency by looking at the different structures of the French language. I recommend starting these courses once you’ve completed up to 3 Minute French – Course 3, and then you can work through both series simultaneously. Here are the links for the Building Structures in French courses on SkillShare:
Building Structures in French – Structure 1
Building Structures in French – Structure 2
Building Structures in French – Structure 3
Building Structures in French – Structure 4
Finally, if you want to explore the French language even further, I have some French grammar courses available. I’ve used the same method in these courses as I have in the other courses, so hopefully you’ll find them fun and interesting
French Grammar – Quick Guide – Verbs 1
Success in French Grammar – The Past Tense (aka the present perfect)
If you would like to learn a different language, I have the same courses above available in Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. Just head to my SkillShare profile page to find them all: https://www.skillshare.com/user/3minutelanguages
Happy learning – Bon apprentissage
Meet Your Teacher
Hello, I’m Kieran and I’m a language tutor based in the UK. I have created a series of online courses that you can use to learn to speak French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. (I also have some English and math courses)
Have a look below to see all the courses I currently have available. I try to add a new course at least once every other week, so check back regularly to see if the next one is ready.
I hope you enjoy :-)
Happy learning!
Kieran

French "cue card" project
As I said in the last course, it's a good idea to start building your own "repertoire" of things to say whilst you're in France (or any other French-speaking country). If you build this up before you go, you will be more confident in speaking when you're abroad.
I'd love to see you write ten things you're going to say next time you travel to a French-speaking country. Use what you've learnt in this course and post your sentences in the Class Project section. If you want, you can just type them, but even better would be to write them on a cue card and take a picture to upload to show me and other learners.
If you write your sentences in French on one side of the cue card and then in English on the other side, you can take this with you to France and have it in your back pocket for easy reference.
Here are three simple sentences to get you going for this course:
Je t'ai donné la clé.
Attends ici!
Nous sommes allés en Espagne l’année dernière.
Keep your sentences short and concise, so that you will remember them easily. Don't forget to write them on a cue card and take a picture to upload to show me and other learners.
Happy learning :-)
