Suitable for members with some basic and perhaps 'rusty' knowledge of French who wish to improve their speaking and comprehension skills in order to build confidence for visits to France and other French-speaking countries. The emphasis will be on improving oral and aural communication skills for everyday situations, building useful vocabulary and spontaneity, and mastering French pronunciation - after all, it's always an advantage if the French understand you!! The leader is a fluent French speaker having lived and worked in France, Belgium and the Maghreb (North and West Africa) and the Ivory Coast, for over 20 years. In 2000, while resident in Montpellier, the south of France, I founded and managed a French language school fully staffed by qualified native French administrative personnel and teaching staff who taught our international adult students from Europe, North America, Scandinavia and Asia, etc.
