Immersion Day for Middle & High School students
Kick – off the 2016 Atlanta Francophonie festival at the Alliance Française and practice your French in a fun and relaxed setting!
If there’s one thing that’s sets the French language apart -other than the fact that it is spoken by 274 million people world wide, it’s the rich diversity of its many expressions!
The theme “dis-moi dix mots” “tell me ten words” invites you to take a journey and discover French spoken in different parts of the Francophone words. Connect with Québec, Congo, Switzerland, Haiti, Beligum and France by learning and playing with these ten words. What do they mean? How are they used? Who says them? Come to Alliance Française on March 12 and find out!
