العربية If you studied French in school as a child but can now only understand the French ingredients on cereal boxes, you're not alone! Here's your chance to go back to our other official language, this time to learn it efficiently and effectively, right from the beginning. If you already know some French, we will place you in a class at the right level so that you can make fast progress to proficiency.
French is spoken by over 200 million people and is the second most widely learned foreign language. Learning French opens up many work opportunities, as you will see if you go to a Canadian job search engine and enter "French" as a keyword. French is also an excellent base if you go on to learn other languages derived from Latin, such as Spanish, Portuguese or Italian.

Course Description
The French Level 5 course uses the book Grammaire Progressive du Français – Niveau Intermediaireas the main resource. The course begins with a review of grammar covered in the earlier levels, then goes on to cover more complex topics such as relative clauses, past tenses, conditionals, the subjunctive, and the plus-que-parfait. Students at this level are able to understand French music and radio broadcasts and speak with little difficulty. After level 5, we recommend lots of review and practice through either private instruction or programs at one of Hansa's partner schools in Quebec or France.
Please note: material will be covered at the pace of the class; some of the above topics may not be covered, as the course will be geared towards the needs of the class as a whole. Some of the curriculum may be modified at the instructor's discretion.
