Not necessarily, but it can be helpful.
The sessions follow topics from Alexa’s Complete French Course, so being subscribed gives you extra context. That said, you’ll still benefit just as much even if you’re not — each lesson comes with its own worksheet to help you follow along and participate fully.
What if I can't attend a class?
No worries if you miss a class, feel free to jump back into the next class. Just be sure to let us know at least 24 hours beforehand to give our teachers time to prepare. There will be study guides available for each class so you won't feel left out.
