LEWISTON — The Franco Center will host an eight-week session of French classes for adults starting May 3. The classes will run through May and June and will be held Wednesdays from 5 to 6:15 p.m. for beginners, and from 6:30 to 8 p.m. for more advanced French-learners.
The classes are intended for those who either want to learn French or those who want to improve their proficiency in the French language.
Varied topics will be used as a guide to help with speaking. The pace is relaxed and class is taught in French with English explanations, as needed. Students are asked to bring a binder or folder and something to write with to class.
Vanessa Stasse will teach both levels of courses. Born in Sherbrooke, Québec, of Belgian parents, she has a master’s degree in anthropology from Laval University in Québec City and has lived in Maine for more than 10 years, teaching French and yoga, and interpreting in French, English and Portuguese.
Classes will take place in Heritage Hall at the Franco Center. The total cost for the eight classes is $80.
