We listen to CDs and read magazines in French which are also available to borrow. The standard is variable with many referrals to a dictionary! The class is a most enjoyable way of learning or maintaining one’s French language skills.

Venue: Mission Church, Vestry Road, Street
Leader: Jenny Lewis
This group is for people with no previous experience of the language who would like to learn to introduce themselves, order a meal/drink, book a room in a hotel or ask for directions etc. We mainly use the BBC course ‘Talk French’. We meet in my house in Wells.

Venue: 12 West Street, Wells

If you were thinking of joining us it would be a good idea if you had done at least a year of Latin at school. We are not rushing and we do also take time to consider geography, aspects of Roman life, and the spelling, usage and derivation of English words from Latin.
Week 1, Wednesday, 2pm – 4pm
Venue: Private Home – Contact Pat for details

This coming term we shall be starting a new reading book and meeting a new set of authors, the first being Cicero. I must issue a word of warning here; if you are a beginner I am afraid this group would not be suitable for you.
