  • Description:

    This relaxed class is suitable for a variety of levels, but you need a good working level of French. It is a fun way to brush up rusty language, get to grips with varying constructions and expand vocabulary. We read a sentence each (with help with pronunciation if necessary) and translate it into English. We will be about half way through 'Dans les bois éternels' by Fred Vargas ISBN 978 229 001 7739. It is a meaty whodunnit, modern and extremely well-written. Some people will be pleased to meet the quirky Adamsberg and his team again. I will provide a synopsis of what we have read so far, and newcomers are welcome.

    Note: We will continue to wear masks in my classes, and keep windows open, to protect vulnerable people from Covid.
