What will I learn?

This focused course on French language history takes you from Latin and Vulgar Latin sounds to key changes forming Old, Middle, and Modern French. You'll reconstruct word origins, follow meaning shifts, and detect false friends plus loans. Practical philology with Old French texts, databases, and etymology resources sharpens your analytical skills for serious research.
