FRN 103 - Accelerated Introduction to French

4 credits (Fall)
Offered only in the fall, this course is designed for students who have already taken some French in high school but are still establishing the basics of French grammar and communication. The course is also suitable for students who have studied another Romance language (such as Spanish or Portuguese) and wish to begin learning French. The course covers the equivalent of FRN 101  and FRN 102  in a single semester. Through total immersion in the target language, students will learn to use and understand French in real-life situations. All four language areas (speaking, reading, writing, listening) are emphasized. Students will also gain cultural knowledge of the French-speaking world, learning the customs, values, and social practices that accompany the language. The course meets five days per week. Not open to students who have taken FRN 102 .

Prerequisite: Grinnell Placement Test or consultation with department.
Instructor: Staff
