Description
Come and learn a new language or brush up on your existing French in the informal atmosphere of The Drouthy Cobbler.
The course will be taught by Kelly, a French teacher at Keith Grammar school. She is originally from Brittany, and after moving around for a while, came to Scotland 3 years ago and has settled here. As most of her family are still in France, she goes back as often as she can, which also allows her to enjoy her twin passions of language and travel.
The course will run every Monday from the 11th of April for 10 weeks from 7-8pm in the upstairs space of The Drouthy Cobbler. From 8- 10pm there will then be an opportunity to practice your new skills in the downstairs bar in a completely relaxed setting. This course is aimed at beginners level so if you feel this is not for you but still want the chance to speak French, please join us from 8-10pm in the bar every Monday from the 11th of April. There is no need to book if you just want to come to chat!
