Intro to French (Beyond U)
2026-02-23 12:30 - 14:00 | Hannan Center, 4750 Woodward Ave,, Detroit, MI, 48201, United States
Activities instructed by Deborah Benedic
Intro to French is designed for students with little or no experience in the French language. In this course, you will build a strong foundation in everyday vocabulary, essential grammar, and practical conversation skills. Through interactive activities, guided practice, and role-playing, you will gain the confidence to understand and express yourself in common situations, such as greeting others, asking simple questions, describing your likes and dislikes, and navigating daily life. You will also explore elements of French culture—from traditions and travel to food and everyday expressions—to help you connect language learning with authentic experience. One class will be held at the DIA where we will discover and discuss the work of various French artists. There will also be an optional activity outside of class in which we will dine out a local French restaurant. Materials needed for this class include a notebook with pockets and 5 different dividers in it for organizing all notes and handouts provided by the instructor. Deborah Benedic chose to be an educator at the age of 4 years old!
