Easy French Course for Beginners

Learn the basics for everyday conversation

By: Collins Dictionaries

Narrated by: Rosi McNab

The perfect French course for travel in France. It is designed to help you ask for the things you’re most likely to need when visiting France and to give you the skills to cope with situations you might find yourself in.

The accompanying free booklet is also available to download at: collinsdictionary.com/resources.

It is different from other courses in that you also learn to understand the likely replies to your questions. You will hear key words and phrases used in dialogues between native speakers, so you learn not only how to say them but also how they are used in conversation.
