About the course

Step into literary French. In Unit 15, you’ll command the tenses and tools used in novels, news features, and formal narration—while polishing orthography and style. What you’ll master 👇 -Narration & Sequence -Le passé simple (forms & uses) + focused drills for être, avoir, faire, aller, vivre. -Le passé antérieur for sharp, high-register sequencing with temporal markers. Orthography & Pronunciation -Le e muet (mute e): rhythm, elision, and where it affects spelling or cadence. -1st-group irregular spellings: verbs ending in -cer, -ger, -oyer, -uyer, -ayer, -eler/-appeler, -eter/-jeter—when the stem shifts and why. Periphrastic Power (Zoom • Construction) -Build nuanced actions with temporal, verbal, aspectual, and modal périphrases (e.g., venir de, être en train de, aller, devoir/pouvoir). Style & Rhetoric (Zoom • Figures de style) -A thorough tour: métaphore, métonymie, synecdoque, hyperbole, litote, oxymore, anaphore, parallélisme, chiasme, zeugme, ellipse, ironie, gradation, polysyndète, asyndète, apostrophe, interrogation rhétorique, analepse/flashback, métalepse, and more—so your French sounds written like a pro. Connectors (Zoom • Conjunctive Locutions – 3) -Raise cohesion with non seulement… mais aussi, or, par ailleurs, en revanche, toutefois, néanmoins, pourvu que, quand bien même, si… alors, si bien que, en somme, en réalité, pour peu que, sans que, tant que, etc. Vocabulary & Practice -City & architecture (styles, places, professions), 108 high-impact adjectives, and large -ION cognate sets to expand precision quickly. -12 verbs in the passé simple + phrase packs to lock rhythm and register. 🎯 Outcome: You’ll narrate like a journalist or novelist, control formal sequence with passé simple / passé antérieur, and write with stylistic finesse and flawless spelling.
