Alexa Polidoro, the Internet's favourite French teacher, presents a new series of mini-lessons for people who wish to improve their French without any pressure, in fun, relaxed and manageable chunks. The key objective of Alexa’s Bite size French Lessons is to develop your language skills in all four learning areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

You will also work on building vocabulary and your knowledge of French grammar. And, as usual, there’ll be more than a fair helping of French cultural knowledge along the way!
