L’étude du français à Bret’s Table
What better way to learn the beautiful language of France than to immerse yourself in the language itself? This fall, you can do just that at Bret’s Table. Mme Carolynn Johnson and I will be leading a six-week class for beginning students who desire to learn French in a conversational setting.
Each week, we’ll participate in a two hour class emphasizing what you need to know to navigate a French menu, to ask for directions, or to purchase that box of chocolate in a Parisian shop window. You’ll also enjoy a cooking demonstration and, of course, a little something to eat during each class. Carolynn will lead the teaching while I will take care of the cooking. We’ll build our vocabulary, work on our pronunciation, and tackle sentence structure.
Carolynn taught high school in Roseville for nearly 35 years. Now she travels to France as often as possible. She also enjoys reading and biking and has been part of the same gourmet club for 32 years. Her two grandsons attend a French Immersion School and continue to surprise her with what they are learning.
I have been teaching at Cooks of Crocus Hill for over seven years with an emphasis on French cuisine. I travel to France every chance I get, cooking most recently at La Pitchoune, the former home of Julia Child.
This link will take you to the registration form. Again, there are only 10 seats available, so don’t delay in securing a place at the class.
