i had my very first class of French 1 this week and am over the moon to be back learning another language in a classroom setting! so far it’s looking more challenging for me than my previous learning, but still very doable for me. i’m optimistic i’m going to take to it very quickly.

That's awesome :D what do they teach first in classes?

basic vocabulary, greetings, the alphabet and phonetic alphabet, some fun anecdotes about france and the linguistic history of french! but the biggest thing was a major focus on vowel pronunciation since it seems like that’s one of the more difficult parts for newcomers
