For each meeting, you are invited to read 30-35 pages in advance, to choose a short passage that you would like to read aloud in class, and to propose a possible translation of it for discussion with the group. Unclear passages are used to review language points (grammar and vocabulary). To focus on content, you will be asked to sum up a paragraph or passage in French on which we have worked together.
