About our Cafe Francais


SAB (Sir Adam Beck School) parents come meet other parents to learn and practice French, at Fair Grounds Roastery & Cafe located on 3785 Lake Shore Blvd. W (at 40th St & Browns Line, 416 251-2233, www.fairgroundscoffee.ca) on the first Tuesday of every month from 730pm to 900pm.


If you are like me, you may not have spoken French in a very long time or not at all. Don't let your rusty French prevent you from coming out to Café Français. Or maybe you just like to have brush up on your conversational French. All levels are welcomed and encouraged. We discuss a wide range of topics: sports, politics, and local issues.

On this blog, I will share information that might be useful to parents of French Immersion students attending Ecole Sir Adam Beck School. Your feedback is welcome.

Open to all, come and join us.
See you there/Bienvenue

1 February 2011 Meeting CANCELLED

Due to the extreme weather expected, I'm cancelling tonight's meeting.

The next meeting will be March 1st at Fairgrounds Coffee as usual.

It's been very challenging this year balancing all my various commitments. Between family, work and volunteering, SAB Cafe Francais has suffered. I have a renewed focus and I'll use this month to make the following meetings better.

Thanks to all,
Rose

Next meeting Tuesday November 2nd, 2010

Bonjour tout le monde/Hello Everyone,

The last meeting in October we reviewed basic verbs and their conjugation, the first group of verbs ending in -er such as manger(to eat), the second group of verbs ending in -ir such finir(to finish), and the third group of verbs ending in -re such as rendre(to make). We also played a game two truths and a lie. In this game, you make three statements (in French), two truths and one lie, and the rest of the group had to guess which was statement was true.

I did promise to post the meeting notes on the blog and I am trying to figure out the best way to do that, please be patient with me.

We will be having the next meeting on Tuesday November 2nd, 2010 at FairGrounds Roastery and Cafe on Lakeshore and 40th from 730pm to 900pm. The following meeting will be December 7th.

See you there/Bienvenue
