The course is divided in different sections in order to alternate between :
- themes and texts with a basic vocabulary ;
- basic grammar (tenses, nouns and adjectives, pronouns & determinants, negation, passive…)

- Develop reading comprehension thanks to current articles about everyday life themes, using Q & A methods and basic vocabulary.
- Revision of grammar rules through grammar exercises.
- Use the studied grammar and vocabulary in context.
