An Update on French Class

Bonjour! So far, the program has been going very well. French class is something that I have yet to write about. So here it goes: every morning at either 9 am or 10 am (depending on the day) myself along with 7 other girls sit down with our instructor, Julia, and go over our activities from the night before, how we are feeling this morning, etc. Here's a list of some example class agendas: 

- grocery store terms 

- how to buy and ask for items at the grocery store 

- possessif pronouns 

- how to express likes and dislikes 

- conjugating reflexive verbs in the present tense 

- body parts (for the face) 

- practice dialogues for asking for directions 

- féminin vs. masculin adjectives 

- féminin vs. masculin verbs 

- horoscope and astrological terms (just for fun :) )

- buying clothing and learning international size charts 

- colors and their meanings in different countries 

- describing weather 

- beach safety in Nice 

- imperative form 

After our class (typically lasting around 3 hours total) we go on outings and practice what we learned that day. For example, if we are going over how to buy clothing, Julia may ask us to go to different stores and inquire about sizing, colors, etc. The other day, we were assigned to ask random strangers for directions to several churches in the area!
