French Discussion 25/26


Group Description :
This is an advanced level French discussion group, with the emphasis on spoken French. We discuss articles from the French press and view videos from French websites. We are a friendly and sociable group and members are very much encouraged to suggest additional activities to provide more variety on Friday mornings. Recent examples are looking at some French poetry and listening to short stories. We work as a group with contribution welcomed from all members, with the number as a whole having to be limited so we can hear ourselves speak! Year 25/26: Members of the group in 24/25 will be given priority but there are expected to be 2 or 3 places available for new joiners.
