Convenor: Hildred Lister

Bonjour!

The French Improvers group is held every Thursday morning, between 10 a.m. and 12 a.m. at the home of the Convenor, which limits us to the number of available chairs and space around the table.

This is a popular group, and we are full at the moment.

We learn about all aspects of French life, customs and culture as well as speaking and learning the language through fun activities.

We have a course book, which we follow from time to time, but to keep our interest we also read extra information around a topic, short stories and pages from French magazines. Treasure hunts, crosswords, poems, games and, dare I say it, French word searches (one member is not a fan!!) all enrich the learning experience.

As this is a self-help group, we regularly take it in turns to lead the group in a topic, for example: talking about the various regions in France or about French towns or cities we have visited. We have also informed the group, in French, about ourselves, our hobbies, books we have read, films we have seen, why we like living in our beautiful Littleborough etc. Six times a year we go to the Little French Cinema in Oldham to watch films in the French language which fortunately have English subtitles for the trickier words.

Most importantly we laugh and smile together, which is universal to every language.

If you are interested in joining the Group please contact the Convenor using the enquiry link at the top of this page.
