Thu Schaeffer and her French students had a great time at the Catonsville 4th of July parade, riding on CCBC's float. It was a hot day, but lots of fun!

A Cultural Exchange

Our classes are not all about listening, speaking, reading, and writing--culture is an important aspect of learning a language, and we weave it into all of our classes.Thu Schaeffer's Intermediate French I class hosted visitors from Toulouse, in the south of France, for an evening of cultural exchange.  Students were able to practice their French skills, and the French visitors were able to practice their English.  It was a fun and entertaining evening.
