What You Will Learn?

  • The whole of the French language can be broken down into several different structures. If you take any sentence from any French book or any utterance, you will see that it fits into one of these structures..
  • I remember one weekend, I was writing some lessons for the week ahead, when I suddenly realised this. I noticed that there are a certain number of structures in French, and that every sentence follows one of these structures. I spent the rest of the weekend working out all the structures, and I wrote them all down..
  • Every structure you learn gives you the ability to say a huge amount. Some structures are used more than others, but all the structures together make up the whole French language. Once you’ve learnt how a structure works, all you have to do is insert different words into the slots and you have a sentence..
  • This course introduces you to structure 5. I’ve limited each course to one structure so as not to overburden you. By looking at just one structure at a time, you can really get to grips with it and understand its usage. It will help to clarify the French language and make it more like a reflex rather than something you have to think about as is it were a maths equation..
  • Each structure can also help to propel you to fluency; if you can manipulate the structures at high speed, you can start to say anything you want without having to thing about how to say it..
  • This course contains plenty of practice opportunities for you to revise what you’ve learnt and it also contains some hints and tips on how best to learn and memorise the structures and the vocabulary that goes with them. You’ll learn how to make questions out of structure 5, how to make statements and how to turn positive statements negative..
  • The Building Structures in French series is set out using the same learning techniques as the 3 Minute French courses. You can work through the course in three minute chunks, enabling anybody to learn French, no matter how little time you have..
  • PROGRESS TO THE NEXT COURSE.
  • Once you have finished this course, you can continue onto the next course where you’ll learn all about structure 2 in French. Here are the links for all the Building Structures courses currently available on SkillShare:.

  • Building Structures in French – Structure 2.
  • Building Structures in French – Structure 3.
  • Building Structures in French – Structure 4.
  •  .
  • I have a second series of courses available called “3 Minute French”. This series builds the French language in small chunks and shows you how to put the chunks together to form your own sentences. With the 3 Minute courses, you’ll be speaking lots French from the very start. Here are the links to the 3 Minute French courses on SkillShare:.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 1.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 2.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 3.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 4.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 5.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 6.
  • 3 Minute French – Course 7.
  •  .
  • Finally, if you want to explore the French language even further, I have some French grammar courses available. I’ve used the same method in these courses as I have in the other courses, so hopefully you’ll find them fun and interesting.
