French Lessons - From Basics to Advanced is the right course for you if you are a complete beginner or want to make a fresh start. It is an immersive course which will help you to understand, read, and speak most of the French you will need on holiday or a business trip.

The first ten units introduce you to the basic structures and grammatical points you 'll need in everyday situations. Units 1-10 should be taken in order, as each builds on the previous one.

Units 11-19 deal with everyday situations such as shopping, eating, booking a room, traveling, and give you the opportunity to put into practice the language you've acquired in the first part.

My Swahili and English classes are customized to every student's needs. This is to prevent wasting time and money on those who know more than the second language basics.
Beginner level involves learning the basics: alphabets and phonetics, pronunciation of vowels and consonants, greetings, family members, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, demonstratives, personal pronouns, basic nouns, short dialogue, work-related lexicon, travel-related lexicon, hotel-related lexicon and other social -related lexicon.
The intermediate level involves advancing the basics of grammar (Swahili/English) specific to parts of speech. Conversational lessons focus on topics related to the student's work, family, or social environment. The same applies to the advanced levels.
At the end of my lessons, you earn a Second Language certificate ascertaining the level you have managed to achieve as assessed by me.

2. Beginners will typically have access to resources such as textbooks, workbooks, and online materials, and they may also have the opportunity to practice speaking and listening skills with a teacher or tutor.

3. Swahili lessons for beginners is learning how to read and write in the language. The Swahili alphabet consists of 26 letters, similar to the English alphabet, but with a few differences in pronunciation.

4. Beginners will also learn how to conjugate verbs in Swahili, which is an important aspect of the language. The verb "to be," for example, has different conjugations depending on the tense and subject of the sentence.
