About this book
This French A1 course book is designed for adult learners aiming to pass the DELF exam. It is a practical, structured resource that supports both self-study and classroom instruction. Developed with input from European universities, the book follows the CEFR guidelines and adheres to the EU’s teaching standards, making it a reliable choice for language learning at the A1 level.
The book is organized into 45 topics that focus on real-life situations, ensuring that students learn how to use French in practical, everyday contexts. Each topic is supported by clear, measurable "can-do" statements, so learners can track their progress step by step. With an emphasis on language immersion, students will encounter authentic materials such as videos and websites that are simplified to suit the A1 level.
Designed for higher-educated adult learners, the book places a strong focus on building communication skills. It includes all necessary grammar, vocabulary, and dialogues needed to progress through the A1 level while giving learners the opportunity to explore French culture in parallel with their language study.
The book is complemented by a teaching portal that provides access to audio, video, online exercises, and downloadable PDF resources. This makes it ideal for interactive lessons, and the coLanguage app allows for personalized feedback. Through the app, learners can track their progress, receive targeted corrections, and complete exercises tailored to their individual needs.
Ideal for a semester-based course with 60–80 learning hours, this book is part of a wider series that spans levels A1 to C1. Whether you're a student preparing for the DELF exam or a teacher looking for a structured, flexible teaching resource, this book provides all the tools necessary to succeed in learning French.
