French

This new French group is hoping to improve their spoken French, initially by conversation and perhaps later by some form of instruction.
We meet once a fortnight on Mondays at 11am at the Ivanhoe Club, Wilfred Place in Ashby. There are also fortnightly conversation sessions at one of the member's houses on a Tuesday evening for those who are more fluent.

September

The French group continue to meet fortnightly at 11am at the Ivanhoe Club. The next meeting will be Monday 12th Oct. As we aim to speak in French as much as possible we usually start by each person in turn recounting in French what they have been doing over the previous 2 weeks.

After that we may read some passage or passages in French about French culture or something of interest from the Internet and translate into English. Alternatively we may practice grammar or revise verb formations or some of the more difficult rules of French.
