French Conversation (BEGINNER - A1)
Details
LEVEL: BEGINNER - A1 — 11am PT / 2pm ET
🤹 Was Mazarin the greatest diplomat of all time? 🎭💰 - Cardinal Mazarin is regarded as one of the greatest diplomats in history. He may even have been the first one, since the term was all new back in the 17th century. Following in the intimidating footsteps of the Cardinal de Richelieu as Prime Minister of France under the monarchy, Mazarin shaped the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. His vision was to transform politics into a grand spectacle that would enhance France’s worldwide influence. Curtains up, ladies and gentlemen!
#### Preparation:
