French Conversation (INTERMEDIATE - B1)

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE - B1 — 12pm PT / 3pm ET

🎻 Is talent ever enough? 🤺🎼 - Joseph Bologne, a forgotten maestro, deserves to be recognized as one of French music history’s greatest artists. Once an esteemed composer, violinist, and fencer, idolized by the elite society of his time, including none other than Marie-Antoinette herself. He has been rediscovered in recent years through movies and other forms of media, offering a chance for a new generation to appreciate his talent.

#### Preparation:

• watch this week's episode about Joseph Bologne: https://youtu.be/v6WScfGGQvA (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
