Bonjour ou Bonsoir
I have been teaching French for the last 20 years or so to adults in New York City. I am now opening GROUP CLASSES for students to be able to interact with others but still in a very structured setting and of course I will be there to help, supervise and correct when needed.
Here are the 3 types of groups I am forming. They will start when we have a minimum of 4 students. So the earlier you let me know the better.
GROUP 1
ARTICLE - An article will be handed out 1 month before class. The student will have time to read it and look up the vocabulary and and will be familiarized with the story. I will send with the article each student a different question.
During the group class, I will distribute all the questions to the students and ask each one his/her respective question. Students will have the opportunity to answer. If you are not comfortable talking at that time (sometimes it can be difficult for some), that is fine, you can at least read the answer you prepared. Listening is always good, even if listening to other students. Words and expressions will be repeated over and over during the class so you all will get something out of it.
GROUP 2
CREATE DIALOGUES - Based on a topic of my choice (suggestions are welcome), I will assign each student a particular character. For instance, Jeff would be the clerk at the hotel and Cristina would be the angry unhappy client. They will create dialogues . Communicating among themselves, via email or however they wish.
During class, you would read out your dialogues and such and I may if we have time ask a few general questions on the ''episode".
GROUP 3
THEATER PLAY - A few acts will be chosen by me and announced 1 month before class. The student will have time to read it and look up the vocabulary and will be familiarized with his or her role.
During the group class, students will do a reading of their ''part'' of the play. I will ask a few questions and students will have the opportunity to answer.
WHEN? Wednesdays 6pm to 7:30pm
COST?: $35 per person for the 90 minute class - this tuition will include the material of course my constant help via email/text messages during the week if you need help with your assignment and all material needed for the assignment of course.
WHERE? West Village - Chelsea

EXAMPLE OF ARTICLES AND MATERIAL This is the type of articles the students will have to be familiar with and do some research on and respond to a few questions. This article is not easy but it isn't about that, it is about learning new words and verbs, seeing the proper order and structure and be able to understand most of it and respond to a few questions.
ARTICLE # 1 - Le Val de Loire
La Vallée du Grand Fleuve Royal, ainsi pourrait-on appeler le Val de Loire, région constellée de centaines de demeures princières qui offrent une profusion d'images issues tout droit de la Renaissance, une des époques les plus prestigieuses de l'histoire de France.
Contrairement à la Bretagne ou à la Normandie, véritables entités géographiques et historiques, le Val de Loire composé de pays à l'histoire et aux caractères variés, ne tient son unité qu'à la présence de la Loire, le plus long fleuve de France avec ses 1.020 km.
La plupart du temps, étalée dans un lit trop grand pour elle, la Loire coule mollement entre des bancs de sable doré ou étreint des dizaines d'îlots. Qu'on ne s'y trompe pas! Sous son apparente indolence, la Loire dissimule un tempérament de torrent et ses colères surprennent. Des pluies fortes se déversent-elles dans le Velay où elle prend sa source, les neiges du Massif Central fondent-elles rapidement, la Loire s'enfle alors en crue dangereuse. Les chiffres gravés dans la pierre de maintes piles de ponts et même de maisons riveraines en témoignent: crues meurtrières de xxxx, xxxx et xxxx.
Le plus souvent pourtant, la Loire est d'humeur paresseuse et maintenant qu'a disparu la pittoresque industrie de batellerie qui la sillonnait jusqu'au milieu du dix- neuvième siècle, on serait tenté de l'accuser d'être inutile si elle ne traçait, de château en palais, un incomparable itinéraire.
Et surtout, les poètes ne s'y sont pas trompés qui ont chanté sa couleur changeante, moirée. Les uns l'ont vue bleutée, d'autres blonde voire jaune quand ce n'est pas franchement verte; peu importe la nuance, elle compose un miroir mouvant qui reflète à merveille la lumière du Val de Loire, cette fine lumière qui enveloppe monuments et paysages de la transparence d'une aquarelle.
HOMEWORK - QUESTIONS
1) Quels types de demeures longent cette vallée?
2) Est-ce que Le val de Loire a une entité historique comme la Bretagne ou la Normandie? Expliquez pourquoi.
3) Etes-vous déjà allé dans cette région de France? Si non, dans quelles autres régions êtes-vous allé?
4) Pourquoi est-ce qu'au 19ème siècle, la Loire a été ''accusée'' d'être inutile?
Make a list of all the words/verbs you didn't know with their translations, DO NOT FORGET the genders lol
