Intermediate

The Intermediate classes are intended for the student who has completed the Transitional classes, Refresher Beginner classes, or has acquired the same knowledge through other studies or experience.  Intermediate classes provide a reinforcement of the Transitional levels, expanding on the uses and nuances of the past, present and future tenses.  Students will learn to express hypothetical situations using the conditional tense, and express wishes, desires, necessity and uncertainty through an introduction to the subjunctive tense.   Students will develop conversational skills on a variety of subjects and learn more about francophone culture.p>
