We would appreciate if those who come could bring a small salad/dish/dessert to pass and a beverage for themselves and Le Salon Français will bring the rest.

There  will be a Frisbee, a soccer ball, a volleyball, boule aka bocce ball, and possibly badmitten, and there will be of course the playground area for some fun French Club pictures!!!!

If anyone knows for sure they will be coming or has great interest, an email to Courtney at hamiltcl@uwec.edu  would be great so we can get an estimated headcount for how much meat to purchase.

 

 

At our French Speaking Extravaganza on March 12th, we talked about ways to improve your listening skills. Among suggestions were traveling to/living in France, taking more French classes, watching French movies and television shows, speaking with other people who know French (like coming to the extravaganzas!), and listening to French music. So, we decided to make a list of our favorite French musical artists. Here it is!:
