We meet in The Lounge of the Chilterns Lifestyle Centre from 14.00 to 15.45
on the second and fourth
Friday each month.
Recent topics have included: identifying an object in 20 Questions, Trouvez les mots (new vocabulary from a drawing), Antoine Lavoisier, the Raft of the Medusa, your favourite sporting event, a crossword puzzle, Journée internationale de l'amitié , Leeds Castle, a summer and Christmas social (Darmon Deli), our Christmas expectations, Brigitte Bardot (1934 - 2025), your favourite painting, the falling birth rate in France, famous men and Lille - its history and tourist sites in anticipation of a May visit.
.At each meeting we review the headlines from the web version of France-Soir.
The aim is to encourage you to improve your grasp of the
French language through conversation, to enable you to give very short
presentations on topics that interest you and of course to understand what is
being said. And if you travel abroad, to use your French, not only in France but
in former French governed countries such as Algeria, Morocco, Cambodia, Laos
and Vietnam; and Quebec and Nova Scotia in Canada.
There may be opportunities to see French films : 29 June, either Le Quai Des Brumes or Le Jour Se Leve
in the Pottery Room, Amersham.
Ideally members should have previously studied French. You will benefit from 1 – 2 hours of study in your own time each month on selected topics but don’t let that deter you.
Although the group is full, this should not stop you coming to our friendly group for a taster session. Please contact Phil Spalton for a chat.
