Students at French language school discover Christmas traditions
13 desserts for participants to French language immersion programme
A lecture about Christmas traditions in Provence recently surprised students at French language school. First, they could hardly understand why Christmas Eve dinner is called “Gros souper” (big supper) when it’s a meatless meal! And then, they marvelled at the “13 desserts”. Thus they were offered those in a “faouque” (traditional Provencal cork dish) at coffee break by directors of Elfca French language school in Provence.
Night thunderstorm above French language school in the South of France
Learners of French in France couldn’t believe it!
In the middle of the night, on Sunday 22nd November, everyone on the Riviera was waken up by a spectacular storm. The north wind blew up to 100mls/h, and a deafening thunderstorm illuminated the sky non-stop for several hours! Trees were uprooted in the streets, masts were broken in small ports like Les Lecques or La Londe and many roofs were carried away; a unique occurrence which astonished everyone including the foreigners who learn
French in the South of France.
More theatre for those who learn French in France
Students at French language school in Provence liked Horovitz’s play.
A group of learners of French decided some days ago to devote an evening to a cultural activity. They went to theatre, at Hyeres lovely Italian style Theatre Denis hall. The play was “Lebensraum” from Israel Horovitz, one of the most popular American writers in France. The evening was a total success - although some of them confessed they didn’t understand everything – for the group of foreigners who study French on the Cote d’Azur.
