French Language Courses

French Through Film & Literature

We will read together contemporary French novels and watch the film adaptations as the basic content of our course together.  An emphasis will be placed on discussion concerning the literature to improve speaking skills and learn new vocabulary. We will talk about our reading and "listen" and watch the French film.

The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. You will learn to use French for communication and social purposes. This is also a great opportunity to meet people and make friends from different countries and cultures. This is an intermediate to upper-intermediate class level.
