Course overview
The French Room Book Club is an informal extra course run by Ellie on Friday evenings (UK time) where a mixed level group can enjoy reading and discussing a Ellie's suggested book or play over 3 or so sessions. 

It is very relaxed and designed to give you confidence to be able to read French by yourself. 
Benefits we've discovered along the way
Book Club has been running for just over a year now and we have uncovered some surprising benefits along the way. It's proved to be a real confidence booster perhaps because there is time and space to understand something well and then have a chance to practise saying it out loud.
It goes without saying that it's very good for pronunciation but what is really exciting is how well it consolidates grammar and vocab covered elsewhere but not really owned. The story of the book somehow makes those connections so much more transparent and relevant.

It's not too late to join. New comers welcome!

"I’m so excited I've joined! It’s fun & also a lot of work but I find it propels my French to a new level & makes reading other things easier! Fun to meet new people too! Just got the book yesterday & will also listen on Audible. Ellie also assigns excerpts before each class so we just concentrate on those. So, if you don’t have time to read the whole book it’s ok & still interesting🤩" - Quote from Christine encouraging a fellow learner to try Book Club!

Salut! I'm Ellie, your French tutor and the founder of The French Room. I'm looking forward to accompanying you through this French course. My aim is to get you holding your own and enjoying French conversations with native speakers.

I started learning real French in Lyon when I was an au pair 30 years ago, and I've been living a bilingual life ever since!
