Course Description

This course is designed for people with no prior knowledge of French who would like to acquire basic skills in conversation, conjugation, and grammar, as well as for those who might have done their French GCSEs a while back and would like to pick it up!

Each week is dedicated to a topic that specifically reflects an aspect of French culture: the importance of gastronomy, French cinema, iconic music (Gainsbourg, Piaf, Brassens…), or landmark historical events such as the 1789 revolution, the Napoleonic wars, May ’68… This way, classes are about more than discovering the language and developing foreign conversation skills: together we explore the cultural, historical, and social habits of this beautiful and complex country.

Half term 14th- 18th February

I have always been incredibly passionate about history and literature and hold two BAs: one in Anglo-American Literature and History, and another in English-Italian Linguistics. In 2019, I obtained my MA in English Drama and Literature, specializing in the Restoration era and 1960s England. After growing up in the United States and then living for sixteen years in the South of France, I came to England in 2016. I currently reside in Brighton with my husband, daughter, and French cat. I teach foreign languages (French, English, and Italian) in Brighton & Hove, and Rottingdean, as well as mentoring sixth form students. I am passionate about: art, literature, history, yoga, gastronomy
