Sfgraveston Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 How are we all getting on with the course? I'm quite enjoying it and am learning a lot. Would however like to have more written work marked. Doing the written assignments I could (and probably am) making loads of errors.Which summer school are you all attending at Caen? I'm going to the firts one on the 9th July. If anyone wants a lft there (but not back) I'm going early on that Saturday morning - ferry at 7.45am. Let me know if you want to share costs - I'm based in Cambridge.Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardrawlings Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hi StuartHow do you find the course. I am thinking of doing it in feb I have seen some of the course notes and it seems quite intensive. What is the oral content like. I have spent 3 years doing GCSE and A level by distance learning and that seems to be the down fall. Many ThanksRichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfgraveston Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm enjoying the course very much and have learnt a great deal. The oral element of the course comes in three parts - half of the assignments are recorded on tape by the student, there are monthly tutorials held entirely in French. and there is a one week summer school at Caen which is also totally in French.They reckon the course takes 12-14 hours per week but I've not always felt the need to do quite that much.Richard - have you a house in the Aude near Mirepoix and Fanjeaux? If yes we could meet up when we are both in the area.Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardrawlings Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 No house in France at present still looking.How useful do you find the tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfgraveston Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 I've enjoyed the tutorials but I'm not sure how much you can accomplish in a group of 12 in 2 hours once a month despite often working in pairs or threes.I'm particularly looking forward to the summer school in Caen which will be 6 gdays of nothing but French.
