Course Description
Welcome to course 7 :-)
On dit que le sept est un numéro chanceux, et en France, le chiffre 7 est parfois considéré comme un « chiffre magique » ou sacré.
It is said that seven is a lucky number, and in France, the number 7 is sometimes considered a "magic number" or as sacred.
Well, that might be going a bit far, but I do think course 7 is a wonderful addition to the 3 Minute French series, although I am obviously biased since I wrote it!
In this course, which contains lessons 54 to 62, we're going to be looking at lots of useful language features and further building our French vocabulary to enable us to speak in even more situations.
To begin with, we'll be looking at more areas where French and English differ slightly, and why you can't always translate things word-for-word. The word "d'où" for instance, is a new question word we can use when we want to say "where ... from" in English.
We're going to get quite a few new Vocabulary Expansion Sheets in this course, which will give us the opportunity to add more description to our language. We'll learn the words dernier and prochain, as well as lots of new adverbs such as depuis, jusqu'à and il y a (you'll learn another meaning for this phrase that we have met before).
Course 7 comes with a new tense; we've looked at the present perfect tense in quite some detail now, so in this course we're going to move on and look at the present tense. As the name suggests, this tense will allow us to talk about what's happening in the present. We'll look at how to form the present tense for "vous" using regular verbs and then we'll have a look at the group of irregular verbs who do their own things. We'll also look at another tense that is linked to the present tense: the imperative.
The imperative is the grammatical term for "commands", so you can use it to tell people what to do, or equally what not to do. This is quite a simple tense to learn once you've got to grips with the present tense.
So, that's a little bit about what you'll be learning in this seventh course, but of course there's lots more, including new verbs, new adjectives and adverbs, talking about the calendar in French and looking at some new structures as well as revamping some old structures involving our friend "est-ce que".
I hope you enjoy :-)

It such a wonderful way to learn french. Kieran explains so beautifully that it makes learning fun and accessible! Since I have committed to little chunks every day, my brain is beginning to surprise me and I'm making the connections and remembering! Which is very exciting!!

Great course! I honestly did not think learning French would be that relatively easier. But thanks to this course. It made the journey much simpler! Merci beaucoup!
By Nina Jefferson on 8/20/2023
Yes, it is a good match for me because I've been taking 3 minute French courses for a couple of years now. Absolutely love the Instructor's voice as well as his method of teaching. I have learned a lot from him!

Enjoying my learning process , I am still struggling on grammar formation and interpreting sentences / phrases from French to English
By John Bryntze on 3/5/2023
Love these course, obviously since I'm on course 7 and done 1-6 and planning to do as many there is :) thanks for doing these courses
By Joe McMahon on 10/30/2022
Course 7 was quite a change of pace, in that the emphasis changed from primarily vocabulary building, to using the language in everyday circumstances. The exercise using the 30 most commonly used verbs was a major step towards a degree of fluency. Well structured course.
By Patricia on 4/20/2022
I love these courses- have been doing them for two years now and I have made so much progress with very little effort. I look forward to my lesson every day. Thank you!

I have completed courses till 3 MIN FRENCH - COURSE 7. Its been quiet an amazing learning curve. The recap sessions are worth it as well. But as a suggestion, I would ask you to include few actual conversation scenarios as well ( Like the listening or reading part in IELTS exams ) so that we can remember words more with respect to some instances as well. But its a brilliant course and I feel its worth it
By Luis Perez-Valery on 2/18/2021
I started in course 1 and now I'm going in course 7. I like the method and hope to continue learning. I would like to do all the courses!
By Anil Patni on 6/14/2020
The best part of this course was the slow and steady pace with which he builds the sentences, teaches you the structures and expands your vocabulary step by step. Unfortunately I had a terrible experience with slow connectivity and long buffering between sentences during the course 7 but that's a technical difficulty for which I cannot blame the course instructor. I wish to continue this 3 minute series and please keep me informed when the Course 8 and more is introduced. All the best. Anil Patni. New Delhi.
