SUMMARY:Café Conversation - 10h30
DESCRIPTION:Café Conversation is a great way to practice\, improve and/or help you feel more comfortable speaking French with friendly francophones and francophiles who enjoy speaking French in an informal setting.  The group meets two Saturdays a month from 10:30 to 12:30 (be sure to check this calendar often). Have a cup of coffee and meet/greet fellow members for the first half hour or so with some small talk – en français (It’s all about practicing!) and then prepare to tackle the subject of the day. \nAn article in French (often with a side-by-side English translation) is read out loud en français by the participants to practice proper pronounciation and to check understanding of the French vocabulary and grammar. The article will then be used to spark the conversation. \nAll levels of French are welcome. AFNWCT members attend free and a $5 suggested donation is kindly requested from all others. \nThose with a question\, or if you wish to propose a certain topic or lead one of the discussions should contact Brigitte: cafe@afnwct.org \nThis group meets at the AF Center located at 1 Pomperaug Office Park\, Suite 301 in Southbury. See map below.

SUMMARY:Venue Change! Morris French Disc Group - 6pm
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE!!!!  The Morris area French Discussion group will meet AT THE LITCHFIELD OLIVER WOLCOTT on Thursday\, January 19 starting at 6:00 pm at the offices of Harvest Moon Timber Frame\, LLC located at 198 East Street* in Morris (see Google Map below.)  Led by a French native\, previous discussion subjects have featured le Ricard\, l’attentat à Nice\, Truffaut interviews of Alfred Hitchcock\, les parapluies de Cherbourg\, the origin of Le Père Noël\, Bic pens\, Roquefort cheese\, Le Beaujolais Nouveau…. \nWhether you are just learning French or are an advanced speaker\, you are welcome to join. You will have an opportunity to learn\, practice\, and improve your French language skills at these informal meetings. Due to the shorter time\, this month’s discussion will be short and informal. \n\nOur group will then move to listen to the special Author’s Talk at 7:00pm (see details below) \nLooking for The Stranger:\nAlbert Camus & the Life of a Literary Classic\nwith Author Alice Kaplan\nClick Here to Register \nAlbert Camus’s L’Etranger has been a best-seller for so long that we forget it was ever anything else. But literary classics are made\, not born: though The Stranger was a book very few readers understood or appreciated when it was published in 1942\, it became a household name – a regular on lists of the great books of the 20th century. \nAlice Kaplan delved into publishers’ archives to uncover a key episode in L’Etranger’s career:  the first translation of the French novel into English\, in the United States and in England\, four years after its publication in 1946\, when the war in Europe had been over for only a year. This is a tale of two cities\, involving an author\, his publishers\, his translator\, and his readers and reviewers. Knowledge of French is welcome but absolutely not required! \nAlice Kaplan\, John M. Musser Professor of French at Yale University\, is a specialist of 20th century France. She works at the intersection of literature and history\, using a method that allies archivalresearch with textual analysis. A literary translator\, Kaplan serves on the newly created advisory board of the National Book Foundation’s study of the state of translation in the United States. She is a former Guggenheim Fellow\, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a recipient of the French Légion d’Honneur as well the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History for The Collaborator and the Henry Adams Prize for The Interpreter. \nREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED\nA Wine & Cheese Reception Will Follow\nThe Hickory Stick Bookshop will provide books for sale & signing. \n\nAFNWCT Members attend for free; A suggested donation of $5 is requested from others.
