Students who attend this class should have a solid foundation in the French language and be able to converse in French. Students will hone French conversational skills, delving into advanced grammar, usage, and mechanics while solving translations. The class will mainly be taught in French, and we will strive to maintain French dialogue, while learning through music, international signs, body language.
Materials to bring: Please bring to class a notebook and/or loose-leaf paper, writing utensils, a pocket folder, and a small French/English dictionary would be helpful (Katy will have extras on hand).
This class is for advanced adult students.
I have had the pleasure of teaching French to students of all ages for over twenty years, having taught at Applewild School, Groton Community School, and other area schools. A fluent French speaker, I have lived in France, attended universities in France and Luxembourg (La Sorbonne, L’Université de Valenciennes and Sacred Heart du Centre Universitaire de Luxembourg), and worked as a translator for the government of Luxembourg, as well as having danced professionally in a modern dance troupe based in Metz, France. I’m a firm believer in the value of multilingualism and I am passionate about introducing people to French language and culture!
