The aim of the workshop is to provide an "immersion day" - a halfway house between weekly classes and a trip to France. You will be in a French speaking environment and you will be increasing your confidence by practising your spoken French so that the everyday language becomes more automatic and you are able to speak in everyday situations without thinking too hard! The day will focus on activities where you are called on to use what you already know. Suitable for: Adult learners with a knowledge of basic spoken French. This could include anyone who has moved beyond beginner level in their spoken French and up to intermediate level. Aimed at those who want to become more confident in everyday spoken French.

Course programme
Course review:
One of a series of lively, French-speaking mornings in the inspirational Kingfisher Gallery at the Sidbury Mill. These mornings are a continuation of the popular "café - croissant" format - going from 10 am to 12 pm with a break for French-speaking relaxation over coffee and croissants. Cost is £15 payable in advance and includes tuition from two tutors, coffee and croissants. Parking is free at the Mill.This is an opportunity to practise speaking French with the support and encouragement of two qualified and experienced tutors in a "team teaching" setting. The workshop is for improver to intermediate level adult learners who want to consolidate their everyday spoken French, boost their confidence in the language and have fun at the same time. The format moves away from desks and dictionaries and encourages you to improvise within a supportive environment. You can always fill in the gaps using gestures, expressions, and anything else except English! Be prepared to have fun and have a go! The morning aims to cater for varying levels but you will need an existing knowledge of basic spoken French. The tutors will be happy to discuss and advise you on this.
