French Conversation (ADVANCED - C1)
Details
LEVEL: ADVANCED - C1 — 1pm PT / 4pm ET
🎀 What secrets lie beneath the surface? 👑 - After the numerous films, books, and series of recent decades, the image of Queen Marie-Antoinette has changed considerably. The ill-fated wife of Louis XVI, infamous for her execution by guillotine during the French Revolution, now appears as a more complex figure. We are discovering that there was more to her than the superficialities and frivolous behavior that made her reputation and contributed to her tragic end.
#### Preparation:
- watch this week's episode about Marie-Antoinette: https://youtu.be/87gev0bJ174 (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
