Have you always wanted to learn French? This crash course will give you the basics you need to talk about yourself and have your first conversation in French. The workshop will be conducted mostly in French to give you an immersive experience, but I'll use visuals, objects, and body language to make sure everyone understands. C'est parti ! (Let's go!)
