Course Description

Welcome to course 6 :-)

Bienvenue au sixième cours de "3 Minute French" - Welcome to the sixth course of "3 Minute French". This course contains lessons 45 to 53 of the series, as well as a couple of bonus "half lessons" I had to add in because nine lessons just wasn't enough.

This course leads directly on from course 5 and we start immediately by recapping the "present perfect tense", which we learnt at the end of the last course. We'll be looking at how to form questions in the past and what different things these questions could mean in English.

Learning a new tense is something teachers sometimes glaze over, but verbs are the backbone of any language, so good proficiency in grammar is something that will take you far in language learning. We'll be making sure we know the present perfect tense inside out and back to front at the start of this course. There's nothing worse than being introduced to a tense, but then being too scared to use it because you don't quite feel confident enough to manipulate it at conversation speed. Well, in this course, we'll have plenty of opportunity to practise forming the past tense in French, so that when we come to use it in "real life", we can do so confidently.

We'll build on the knowledge we learnt in course 4 around using the word "le" to mean "it" (aka an object pronoun). We'll be learning lots more of these so-called object pronouns and how to use them with some new verbs we'll be learning, too. We'll look at how the little words "de" and "à" can be used in our sentences in ways you might not have thought of, and we'll look at the different meanings of them, too.

We'll start to explore a second way to talk about the past with phrases like "je voulais", "j'étais" and "j'avais". These aren't in the present perfect tense, but they're part of a different past tense in French.

We'll also be looking at negative sentences in French and how sometimes the word "des" shortens to "de" in front of plural nouns.

Again, this is just a brief glimpse at some of the things we'll be learning in this course, but as always, there's too much to mention it all here.

Alors, commençons - So, let's begin!

Because the instructor of these courses of the three minute French courses is wonderful and knows what he's doing. He is the best! I enjoy his method of teaching very much I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning a language.

By Rob Statham on 3/20/2024

This course has single handedly improved my French immensely and have given me the confidence to speak in French to my French speaking friends here in Canada. Where was this 40 years ago when French classes were brutally boring and mostly useless?

By G. Ebru Kundakcı on 1/12/2024

Kieran continues to amaze me with the success of his 3-minute method of teaching languages! I am so so grateful that I came across him & his 3-minute French course. I love learning French & I love this course. Thank you Kieran!

I completed courses 1 to 6 inclusive in 4 months, and continue to be impressed with the methodology and the instructor's manner of teaching. I am now starting on course 7.

By Anonymized User on 7/24/2022

I completed 6 courses in 4 months. I’ve been learning everyday or every other day; it’s pretty light to take in for most of the lessons.

By Luis Perez-Valery on 2/4/2021

I'm enjoying the courses. I think I'm learning a lot, step by step, and repeating everything over and over. I hope I can be able to use all this knowledge in Quebec. Merci beaucoup!!

By Carlos Edgardo Ajuria Serna on 11/11/2020

Muy buena elección, el curso bien explicado, va a buen ritmo y se repiten muchas cosas de cursos anteriores lo que mejora la retención del contenido previamente aprendido de los otros cursos.

By Ramsainath S on 7/4/2020

It will be good.If they share the Remembering Points Only as Text File to Download and Take a print out to read.I mean the key formulas or points to remember

By Roshani (Sanee) on 1/26/2020

This is a absolutely a good course. In the next lesson, I would love to learn the informal forms because when I was in Paris and use the structures learnt here more with “vous” , my close people often told me, it’s very formal .... try to say in tu or on form .... so I’m waiting for the next course to learn more.

By Larisa Fisher on 10/16/2019

I highly recommend to mark all review lessons, so they are easily identifiable. I took a break from the course and have forgotten everything. To refresh my memory i am struggling as i try to find review lessons. Also it would be nice to mark them with labels like 'REVIEW-Telling time' or 'REVIEW-Traveling', 'REVIEW-Dining out'. I like these courses otherwise, i am on course 6 now! Thank you!
