Do you want to improve your French conversational skills in a small & friendly group setting while becoming more aware of the French culture? J’ai la solution pour vous : join the online French Book Club avec moi and other intermediate level students to read, discuss, and converse weekly together on Zoom!
I had to put the French Book Clubs on hold for a few months so I could host my French Immersion Groups and take my annual university exams but yay youpi woohoo French Book Clubs are coming back and I’m so eager to exchange live with you all again!
Et voici mon idée pour cet été : how about a murder mystery Maigret style to get us back into the groove? I just finished reading it et croyez-moi, it’s a good one!
How does it work?
Every week, I send you homework to help you prepare for our following meeting. Homework to help you understand important details you might otherwise have missed, but also to allow you to go deeper into the story, deeper into the ideas, how they relate to reality, to our everyday lives. A thought provoking book is a perfect way to trigger dynamic conversations. There are only 8 students at a time in each group so we all have plenty of time to express ourselves in one hour and a half. Of course, books, homework, and conversation levels are adapted to each group so you never have to worry it’s going to be trop difficile. Challenging, oui. Discouraging, non.
A series of 4 classes
Spread out over 4 weeks
Each class will last 1.5 hours
I will divide our book into 4 parts, each part corresponding to 1 class
The PDF version of the book is provided
Weekly homework to help you throughout the whole book
And in case you’re wondering what the weekly homework looks like, have a look HERE.
Intermediate group
Et voici le livre que j’ai choisi for the intermediate group : La maison du juge from the Maigret series by Georges Simenon.
2022 June 28, July 5, 12, 19 – 6pm French time
Georges Simenon est un incontournable! Un grand classique du roman policier français! Et oui, not only will we read a murder mystery this time, but you will be introduced (or reintroduced if you were with us last year when we read Le chien jaune) to the iconic Commissaire Maigret, a favorite French policeman of all times. A fictional character so famous he has his own Wikipedia page! Click on the link I just gave you and scroll all the way down to see how many Maigret movies were made partout dans le monde!
