Your class chat and weekly notesEach Live Group Class has its own private class space inside The French Room. This is where I post the work for your next class and where your weekly class notes build up over the year.
If you miss a class, read the notes before the next one and you will be able to pick up the thread when you return.
You can also use the class chat to let me and the group know if you will not be there.
What to have with youFor your Live Group Class, have:
- your Cahier
- Le Bescherelle
- Grammaire Progressive du Francais
- anything I have asked you to work on before the class
Bonjour Brilliance provides the preparation for your Live Group Class: the current 907 word, Rendez-Vous Tutos, Libraries and the work you do in your Cahier.
That means we do not need to cram material you can work through independently into the time you are paying to spend with me. We can use the class for speaking, listening, questioning, making connections and seeing what happens when you actually use the French.
Voice Mastery Studio includes access to all the resources found in Bonjour Brilliance.
A few useful things to knowDo I need to book my Live Group Class every week?No. Once you are enrolled, your place is reserved. Open your class from the Events calendar in My Study or from the reminder sent the day before.
What happens if I miss a class?You do not need to cancel your place. Let me and the group know in the class chat if you can. I will add the class notes as usual so that you can see what we explored and what to do next.
What happens if only one or two people attend?If you are the only learner attending, the session becomes a 30-minute private class. If two learners attend, the class runs for one hour. From three learners, the full 90-minute Live Group Class runs as usual.
Can I join during the teaching year?Yes. There are joining points at the beginning of each term and at half-term, subject to a suitable place being available.
Do I need Bonjour Brilliance or Voice Mastery Studio?Yes. Live Group Classes are not designed as standalone weekly lessons. Bonjour Brilliance provides the work before the class and keeps the thread going afterwards. Voice Mastery Studio includes all the Bonjour Brilliance resources, so Voice Mastery members already have the membership needed for Live Group Classes.
