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.

11th and 25th November

The French group were pleased to welcome back one of the group who had had a long enforced absence due to illness. We continue to try and improve our spoken French. Recently we have been studying common French sayings and trying to incorporate them into conversation. We have also looked at they use of 'y' which is introduced in French where 'there' is sometimes omitted in English- par exemple ‘Je vais à Bordeaux’. J'y vais.

We continue to meet every other Monday at the Ivanhoe Club Wilfred Place Ashby at 11am for 2 hours. The next meetings will be on 25th November and 9th December. If everyone is available we will meet on Monday 23rd December. Thereafter the first meeting of the New Year will be Monday 6th January.
