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.

February

The group has settled into a routine of spending the first hour or so discussing the news of the week or previous fortnight with each member taking part in turn.

After that we will read and translate from a particular text. Last time Jane was explaining the exam for obtaining French citizenship with examples of the questions an examiner would ask. It was far from easy but a very useful way of learning new words and expressions.
