And what better way is there, than to learn the language?

- Half a term is the minimum enrolment period.
- The weekly two hour lessons are held over three terms, as per the local schools.
- Reading, writing and conversation are all covered.

How to enrol
Step 1: contact Paul Dowthwaite (details below) to check that there is room on the course you wish to follow. Numbers are limited in order to keep class sizes small so this step is essential.
If you are not sure which class would suit you, Paul will be able to guide you.
(Your teacher Alain may suggest you move up or down a level after the first one or two lessons, once he has had a chance to assess your language skills.)
Step 2: these lessons are exclusively for members of the association, so if you have not already joined EuroMayenne, please fill in a membership form (see Steps 3 and 4 below) and write a cheque for the appropriate amount.
Your teacher Alain will ask to see your membership certificate (a document sent to you when your subscription for EuroMayenne has been received).
Step 3: Print off and fill in an enrolment form (which comes with a membership form).
For the membership and enrolment forms just click ….
