Join Marianne Yayane Verbuyt for a presentation of her book: The indicative mood: 105 French verbs. You will be introduced to Marianne’s method using flashcards to practice French conjugation. All levels are welcome.

The Indicative mood is a bilingual manual, which presents an innovative learning method for those who wish to master French conjugation. The verbs are illustrated with cartoons depicting both an active character and a passive character. Children and their parents will also have the chance to meet the young illustrator James O’Brien. The workshop is especially useful for Anglophone students enrolled in French programs. Children may be divided in groups by level.

In French. For kids ages 5 and up! Free. No RSVP necessary.
