Parlez-vous français?




Parlez-vous français?

Can you speak French?

If you can currently speak French, or if you used to be able to but haven't spoken French in a while, then why not attend the French as a Second Language (FSL) discussion group at the Fort McMurray Public Library?

FSL takes place every Thursday evening at 6:30 pm on the second floor. This group is meant for adults who have a beginner's or basic knowledge of the French language and want the opportunity to practice speaking French with others. 

Each meeting is relaxed and informal. 

This is a great opportunity to brush up on your language skills!
