French Conversation

Status:Active, full but can join waiting list
Leader:
When: On Tuesday afternoons 14:00

Venue: Member's Home

The French Conversation Group meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 14:00 in members' houses. The group is limited in numbers and there is a waiting list.
Contact Jacquie for details.

The group is made up mostly of 'rusty returners', keen to refresh school knowledge or maintain the level we have achieved on visiting France in later years.

We are working through a teaching magazine specifically designed for groups like ours called 'Rendezvous'. There is an accompanying CD and we prepare a few pages as homework. We also often discuss a subject during coffee which we are aware of and able to prepare for in advance. 

In the past, we have gone, as a group, to French films being performed locally or occasionally to the French Institute in Edinburgh who show monthly free films. Visitors to the group will be made very welcome and may be able to borrow CDs and copies of 'Rendezvous' to try at home.
