Materials
This Basic French 1 course applies the Lingua Attack Method. This pedagogical approach immerses you in a foreign language the way it’s actually spoken in everyday life. This method developed by language teachers will enable you to develop your language skills with video-based exercises comprising seven interactive lesson steps. Lingua Attack also features the largest available library of visual dictionaries designed for language learners. Furthermore, games will enable optimal retention of learned items. The Lingua Attack level assessment tests evaluate your proficiency in a language according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
