French Conversation Groups
 Time to brush up your French?
The library offers French conversation groups for adults! This group uses newspaper articles and latest news to incite the members to talk about French culture. They work on vocubulary for shopping at the market, communicating with the local garage, traveling around France and more…plus general tips about living in France. There is a little bit of grammar of course, but just enough to help you get a sense of what you are hearing. The object is to ease you into the language and culture…and help make the French chapter of your life easier . Please contact the front desk to sign up. Groups meet on Friday mornings from 11 – 12 (except during school holidays). Cost is 60 euros for an individual and 90 euros for a couple; this covers the activity through the month of June.
