We welcome you to a day speaking and interacting in French for *improvers with David and Michèle, your two trained and experienced teachers. During the day, you’ll get loads of practice (and confidence!) using essential French structures; help with pronunciation; responding naturally to set cues; role-playing; close listening and reading. Fun and enjoyment is an important element. Over lunch we can go into a mixture of French and English. Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day. And there’ll be a half hour’s deep relaxation (in French) to help you process everything you’ve been exposed to!

Your Hosts & Tutors
David and Michèle Lambert have post-grad degrees in French from Cambridge and Manchester Universities. We’re both fluent users of French each with 30+ years language teaching experience and linguistic research. David is language consultant to two of Europe’s leading schoolbook publishing houses. We’ve both taught at l'Université de Lille, le Lycée Perrier (Marseille), Cambridge Regional College, The Open University, Cambridge Arts and Sciences (CATS), Hills Road Sixth Form College and Anglia Ruskin University. Based on our experience of mindfulness meditation, we’ll be introducing guided relaxation as a way to help you learn powerfully. In our 15th year of welcoming learners to Le Verger, we’re very excited about this new “Journée de langue française” geared to help you access all the French you didn’t know you knew.
