Educational Workshop for Members (May)

At The French Library Get Directions

Are you a news junkie? Ready to take your reading and discussion to the next level?

This May, our educational workshop for members will be taught by Marion Valentin. We'll begin by listening to a news podcast en français. Then we'll discuss the gilets jaunes movement and how it relates to similar, historical movements in France.

This workshop is perfect for intermediate/advanced learners (level B1 +) who want to brush up on vocabulary, take discussions to a new level, and practice a different side of the French language.

Members Only

About this Event

Our educational workshops for members are perfect for those who want to practice and extend their French language studies but can't commit to a full class session. Each workshop is guided by our monthly theme. For May our theme is France: Past and Present and we're providing the opportunity to compare and discuss current and historical events in France.
