Good Resolution #54: Speak French

So....you're beginning to think about what you will do in the New Year...
... and you have decided that you want to learn French:

- because you would like to be able to speak to people:

. when you go skiing in Val d'Isere, or for the apres-ski!
. when you support Scotland for the rugby world cup
. when you go to Nice, Biarritz or Calais for your summer holidays

- to seduce that really nice French guy or girl at work,

- to impress your friends with witty comments about French grammar
(yes, OK, that is stretching it a tad!!!),

- to take your revenge on your horrible French teacher at school,
and swear at her/him in French next time you see her/him casually walking down the road,

- because you like couture, champagne and creme brulee,

- or maybe just for the hell of it, to meet cool people and learn something interesting in the process...

Whatever your reasons,
..... you've got to check out my classes: they are in the evening, mostly, but I also offer individual classes.

Anyway, don't hesitate to check out my website

Or get in touch by email (lise@edilang.com) or by phone (0131 557 2734)

Merci! And see you soon! (and 'bon courage' for all the good resolutions for the year to come!!)
