French – Building on Basics

A few keen learners started the class in September 2021 as planned, before Covid-19 took over our lives, but we soon had to give up.

We started again in September 2022, on Friday morning at 10.15, lasting an hour and thirty minutes, with a coffee break. It is a class for false beginners, i.e. people who have a little knowledge of the language. The emphasis is on speaking and understanding oral French.

We are now moving into a class called “Building on Basics”, at the Baptist church, Station road, Tewkesbury, room on the first floor, as you enter the building.

The details are as follows:

£10 for the room, payable weekly, shared equally by the students about £2.00/£3.00 per week.

We are doing Facon de Parler 2; 4th edition, student’s book. The U3A has bought a few copies they can lend to students, or you can buy your own copy if you prefer, to write in it, for example.

The Autmn term started on Friday 12th September 2025 and will finish on Friday 19th December; and the Winter term will start on Friday 9th January 2026.

All classes do not include a drink of Kir in my garden, but they are all very enjoyable; try for yourself.
