Upcoming Events
Oct 12th, 6:30 pm | Non-judgmental Français
An opportunity to practice your (possibly fractured) French at all levels around various topics via Zoom.
Thomas Garret has been involved in the Paris American Club since 2014. Born and raised in Paris, Thomas came to New York in 2008 to pursue his career in cinematography, and fell in love with the vibrant energy of the city. He has since transitioned to the fields of emerging technologies and design, and is his love of New York remains, although the boulangeries and charcuteries of France still beckon.
Cette semaine, nous parlerons de…
Récemment, nous avons parlé de nos plans d’été, de la réalisation de nos raisons pour aimer la culture française, de nos rêves, de l’hiver, des programmes de télévision en France, des fêtes, de la liberté d’expression, des élections aux EU, de l’ONU, de l’écologie et les gestes individuels pour sauver la planète, de la mer, des loisirs, de la mode, du vocabulaire autour du vin et de notre poésie préférée. Le groupe a aussi abordé des sujets comme: Comment rendre notre société plus inclusive, moins raciste? On a raconté notre dé-confinement et ses défis, la période d’histoire préférée, les habitudes personnelles, les vacances, des expressions et l’argot. Vous trouverez ici la liste des faux-amis et les femmes françaises préférées.
“The French conversation hour was great. Made me realize that I need to speak French more (as in more than never). Mathieu you’re a fantastic moderator!” –Terrence M. Bennett, Attorney-at-Law, Bennett & Samios
