What we’re about
As a French native, I have unfinished business with the classics I studied at school, so every now and then I revisit some—my own version of "searching for lost time". The idea of this group is to connect with any potential fellow enthusiasts.
In practical terms, we'll meet at the library/online and take turns reading selected works, and work through study aids.
This meetup is intended for those with French proficiency and a genuine interest in the subject, for example, if they (have) pursue(d) a French minor/major in college.
The meetup features a live English translation challenge: can those flamboyant linguists one meets around campus really hold their own?
The evolving syllabus can be found at the link under "Find us also at".
Note that I usually close RSVP's a day ahead of the event.
This is a non-profit, unaffiliated, grassroots Francophonie initiative.
The name is a playful reference to an obscure notion of erudite shepherds I stumbled upon in a 1967 video archive.
