What we do
We are an informal group whose members work to improve their knowledge of France and the French language.
We use "Teach Yourself French" as a text book, and members also bring along a variety of materials to work with, including audio CDs.
We are not able to support complete beginners, but would like to do so and would welcome somebody to lead such an activity.
Reports
July 2010
The group usually averages 11 to 14 in numbers with two levels of conversation and activity, the experts under the guidance of Richard Slater enjoying good debate and learning. The second group ably guided by Jenny Goodman, sometimes using our CD and ‘Teach Yourself French’ work book, progress at a more basic level enjoying the company and the challenge.
The new term will commence on Monday 13th September with our last meeting of this year scheduled for Monday 13th December 2010. Any new members are welcome to come along and join in.

November 2009:
The group meets on the second and forth Monday afternoon each month. We form into two groups with the conversation group discussing current topics of interest usually with the aid of articles and news items appearing on the internet, whilst a smaller group concentrate on the more basic learning of how to get by on a visit to France by expanding our vocabulary and grammar skills, and sharing past experiences of holidays in France.

Richard Slater leads those who enjoy conversation and debate using the internet to provide a wide range of current and interesting topics. Jenny Goodman has come forward to guide and support those at a more basic standard, so that we can practice and improve our french via group working in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
