Our French Grammar and Writing Workshop proved very popular last year and so we have decided to run it again. Due to popular demand, French Notes are facilitating a course open to students in 2nd and 3rd year as well as a course open to students in 5th and 6th year.
Our French Grammar and Writing Workshop has been specifically designed for students who find sentence construction difficult. We focus on the mechanics of writing using concrete examples from past papers.
When your written task is being corrected, examiners look at two central points, which are paraphrased here:
- Did the student correctly convey the communicative task?
- Does their language help or hinder the communicative task?
This basically means that, firstly, students have to demonstrate that they have addressed the core point made in the questions through their writing and that secondly, they have applied the correct language in demonstrating this.
Our Workshop will show students how to do this in as succinct a way as possible. Students will only learn what they need and why they need it.

Hannah Fitzgerald, 5th Year Student, Co. Clare
“I completed the summer classes going into 6th year and found them very beneficial. Each week, a new topic was covered and every element of the course was covered weekly – listening, oral, written as well as grammar. The grammar was explained very comprehensively and I got a great grasp on it, which has enhanced my written pieces. Liz helped me with my pronunciation which was something I struggled with and this definitely improved my oral skills. Overall, the classes were excellent and I am going into 6th year with a higher standard of French. ”

“I have never been the most confident when it came to learning French or speaking it. Taking up these extra classes has been extremely helpful. I have been able to revise topics that I have learned in school and learn extra phrases and skills that can be used in all aspects of my French exams. I’ve enjoyed how interactive the classes are because personally I learn a language better when I’m involved rather than just taking notes. Thanks to these classes,I do feel more comfortable with French than I did before and I am not as worried about my French leaving cert. I would recommend considering these classes if you are someone who feels as though a little extra help is needed. They have definitely been worth my time and money.”
