Each one-hour session will include reading of the vocabulary, a brief grammatical chapter, exercises and review of the material.

Each week, about 15minutes will cover one topical aspect of French culture and civilization, such as geography, basic history, social customs, and political and economic problems such as government, work conditions, immigration, and religion.
