French - Advanced Conversation Group
Don't be put off by the word 'advanced'. We're an active group of people with some knowledge of French who meet to discuss current issues, read a French Bonjour ! Welcome to the French Intermediate group. My name is Dominique Wright, I am
a French language speaker with several years’ experience teaching French to adult
learners. Together with Kate Gordon who runs the Advanced French class, we aim to offer
members of the U3A the opportunity to practise the language and improve their skills.
The main objective in the intermediate group is to build up confidence and widen
vocabulary, to help everyone in the group achieve successful communication at their own
level and gradually improve their ability to do so. We do a mix of talking, listening and
reading activities, using original French materials such as newspapers extracts, books,
songs, poems, etc.
We occasionally cover grammar topics if it appears beneficial to revise a particular point,
but generally we try and keep it light hearted and fun, and everyone is encouraged to
share an activity with the group if they wish.
We meet fortnightly on a Friday morning, alternating with Kate’s advanced class; the
sessions last two hours starting at 10.00am and there is a small charge of £2 - £3 to
cover the cost of the room hire.
If you are interested in joining the group (you must already be a member of the Swaffham
& District u3a) or want more information, please contact me:
Meeting: Alternate Fridays of each month 10:00 – 12:00 noon
Venue: Swaffham Community Centre (formerly The Iceni Centre)
Cost: We contribute to the cost of the room hire (£2-3.00)
Co-Ordinator: Dominique Wright
