French year one is the first year of the four year French program. French year one introduces students to the French language the sounds, greetings, learning how to ask and respond to questions, numbers, alphabet and activities. This course introduces you to the world of French and the francophone (French speaking) countries and francophones (people who speak French) around the world. There are currently 175 million francophones world-wide living in 55 countries.
