Nouveaux Chemins French 1—Books A/B

Nouveaux chemins means “new paths.” Taking a “new path” to learn a foreign language broadens your teen’s scope of the world and increases his usefulness as he gains new skills and new perspectives. Your teen will be taught to speak, understand, read, and write basic French in common situations. The emphasis is on communicating orally with an excellent accent and reasonable grammatical accuracy. The learn-memorize-practice-apply method helps your teen master content using a logical, systematic progression. With a focus on French ministry, this 2-volume set (one text for each semester) has the added advantage of high-quality instruction and practice from a Christian perspective. Use with the Teacher Guide, Vocabulary Manual, and Oral Mastery Exercises (sold separately) for maximum effectiveness. Grades 9–12.
