New : Beginner French Classes!

For the autumn, I am planning quite a number of new things, in particular a short course for 'false beginners' in French, ie people who have studied the language at school up to GSCE level, but think they have forgotten most of it. The idea of the short course is that the students will then be able to join the longer Post-Beginner French, running from October through to December - hence making their learning more efficient, instead of trapping them in an Absolute Beginners Course!

There will be however an Absolute Beginners Course, which will start in October completely from scratch, so if you have never studied French before, you can now start discovering it!
