Wednesday   

This workshop is designed for men to share their experiences and discuss their feelings about various subjects that affect men. Members take turns choosing topics for discussion. Participants are expected to be supportive and nonjudgmental in a non-threatening environment.

 

This workshop is geared to the intermediate level, to give French language learners practice in listening and speaking. We will start each session with a very brief grammar review, then break up into small groups for short discussion/questions/answers  based on a pre-arranged topic suggested by the participants:  i.e. food, colors, pets, childhood, travel, etc. Together we will finish each session by reading from a contemporary French novel and use this also as a basis for discussion and vocabulary enrichment. We will try to speak French as much as possible. BUT - Your spoken French does NOT have to be perfect: all that's necessary is a willingness to participate in a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere!

 

Each week we will discuss 1 -2 of Raymond Carver stories in depth, using the structured discussion method. Participation in previous Great Short Story workshops in not required since each year we focus on a different writer. 

This workshop is a continuation of 'French for Beginners.' We will continue learning basic vocabulary and grammar through a wide variety of activities, with a focus on conversation. So, come learn to speak French and have fun!

Rather than a lecture, our format will be our own OLLI members interviewing these radio DJs, from shows like "Jazz on the Air," "Bluegrass Time," "Sunday Street Acoustic," "Shades of Blues,"and “Cafe Ali." Each of these DJs brings an eclectic mix of music and informative talk. We will also meet with hosts of several talk shows, such as "Uncritical Thinking," “The Play it Forward Project” and "Health Matters."
