My love for French langauage

I had a liking for the French language from my college days itself. I had been longing to learn this International language which is spoken in many countries. When I was working in Madurai during 2003, I found that there was a Chapter of Alliance Francais at American College, Madurai. I happily joined the class as that was my dream to study at American College and completed level 1 i.e., A1.

After that life shunted me to different places and I came to Chennai. I wanted to restart my French again in the year 2018 after a gap of 15 years. So, I approached Alliance Francaise of Madras at Nungambakkam. I had forgotten most of my French whatever I had learnt in Madurai. I remembered  only few things in French, so I could not join the next level directly. I had to restart from level one (A1) and did level two also (A2). This refers to Elementary. Next two levels are B1 and B2 which refer to Intermediate or Independent. C1 and C2 refer to Experienced levels. There are group activities, role plays, presentations and many things to make the students speak in French. The CDs supplied along with the books also help to understand the spoken French.

The professors at AF-Madras are too good. They have good command over the language. They are very well trained to teach the language. They speak French as if it is their mother tongue and conduct the class also in French. To learn a language one must think in that language. Grammar, Vocabulary and Practice are the three important things to learn a language.

The AF-Madras campus at Nungambakkam has all modern facilities. All class rooms are air conditioned and equipped with smart boards with wi-fi connectivity. There is a big auditorium, a Library with lot of books and CDs and a canteen too.  Students are provided with the text and work books of the level they join and access to the library and can borrow upto 4 books at a time.

I miss the campus and wish I revisit for the next level soon.
