Newsletter Semaine 4 Semestre 1 2010

Bonjour les amis!
We hope that everyone has been enjoying our outings to the French Film Festival. We’re not running any more trips to the movies, but the Alliance Française has decided to extend the festival for another week, so if you missed out on seeing a movie, this is your last chance. We hope to see you all at our events this week!
This week with FrenchSoc
Conversation Groups
[Manning Backcourt, 1-2 p.m., Mondays-Thursdays]
Parlez français avec FrenchSoc Monday-Thursday from 1-2 in the Manning Backcourt. All levels are welcome, from beginners to native French-speakers. Come and join us, have a coffee, and speak a bit of French! If it’s raining, don’t forget to look inside – keep an eye out for our exec in their FrenchSoc t-shirts, and of course our huge French flag.
Study Group
[Isabel Fidler, 2-3 p.m., Thursdays]
Stop procrastinating and get your homework done with your fellow French students! FrenchSoc study groups will be in Isabel Fidler, on the top floor of Manning, every Thursday from two to three p.m.
Coming up with FrenchSoc
Mid-Semester Party
Keep an eye on your email so that you don’t miss out on our mid-semester party in week five. The details are still being confirmed, but it’ll be a great way to unwind with FrenchSoc before the break, speak a little French, and, of course, enjoy lots of French food!
