Group Leader : Hazel Bailey 

The French group started in 2010. We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. currently there are 8 members in the group. This is an interesting group of people who enjoy French and all have a different level of ability.

During the meetings everyone speaks in French about something that has happened recently in their lives. Some members need to prepare this in advance while the rest are able to speak ad lib.

We translate texts or articles and often through these are enlightened to some French culture, history or way of life. We often enjoy singing French songs and also French learning games which are fun.

By the end of the meeting the French flows more easily.

The French group is still vibrant with little change of the seven members over quite a few years, meeting the second and fourth Wednesdays each month. We all look forward to our meetings and hearing  everyone’s news and events (not always in French).

Everyone is trying to improve their French at different levels and we are so fortunate to have Marie to correct homework or conversation and sharing her knowledge of French culture, politics and cuisine.
