French Weekly Classes - Junior Cycle
Here at French Notes, we have put together Weekly French classes for Junior Cycle French students.
NOTE that we also offer Master Classes for those who prefer to do a 2-hour class during one or each of the school holiday breaks.
Our LIVE WEEKLY FRENCH CLASSES are held once a week, and cover important facets of Junior cycle French. Secondly, our classes are a blend of French vocabulary, grammar and French Junior Cycle exam paper preparation. In addition, there is also a focus on the 3rd year CBA (Classroom Based Assessment) as well as portfolio work.
Our French classes are approximately one hour per week and include exclusive French Junior Cycle Notes, provided on our website. Most importantly, students can do as many or as few French grinds as they need. Our French online classes are transmitted through Zoom.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Students will be advised of the dates in advance and while students are free to choose which classes to attend, it would be more beneficial to finish the entire course. Students may choose to pay for each class in advance, or for the entire course in advance.
During the classes, students will be encouraged to interact with their teacher and other attendees. Notes for individual classes will be sent as soon as the booking is completed by the student. If a student books several classes in advance, the notes will be sent at least 48 hours in advance of each class booked.

ONLINE FRENCH CLASSES REVIEWS
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. ”
Taylor Lacey, 5th Year Student, Co. Dublin
“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.”
