This new French group is hoping to inprove 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. It is hoped that there will also be evening sessions at one of the member's houses but these are not arranged yet.

15th and 29th April

The French group continue to meet fortnightly on Monday mornings at the Ivanhoe Club on the corner of Tamworth Rd and Willesley Place at 11am. It is a small group so we have gone back to basics revising the core verbs of être, avoir, aller and faire in the present, future and past tenses. We meet fortnightly even on the Bank Holiday Mondays. We try and speak as much French as possible during the sessions without leaving people behind . We meet again Monday 29th April and the homework was to prepare sentences using the perfect tense and reflexive verbs if possible. We also meet on the Tuesday evening on the alternate weeks for French conversation at a members house.
