French Language

•      Annual Exchange Visit
  The annual exchange visit between Plateau Vert and Wolsingham offers our members the ideal opportunity to speak French with native French speakers.
  
  Some of our guests/hosts speak fluent English, some none at all, but all are very patient with our French.

•      French conversation evenings
  The group has tried out a series of conversation evenings at members homes.

  This is not intended as a structured class but rather as an opportunity to practice speaking your French, at whatever level, with fellow members of the group.  

  There is only one rule – for the first hour ONLY FRENCH IS TO BE SPOKEN, NO ENGLISH. Miming will be permitted! Dictionaries are allowed!
  

  Any further sessions will be publicised here.

•      French classes in Wolsingham
  
  In 2010 a course of French classes was run in Wolsingham. Unfortunately there was insufficient support to continue these classes.

•      French classes in Bishop Auckland
  
  Many members of the group are attending or have attended daytime or evening classes at Bishop Auckland College. www.bishopaucklandcollege.ac.uk .
  
  Classes are also run at King James I Academy  dominique_elliott@hotmail.com
