Casse-Croûte
Are you a current French student looking for a little extra push? Or are you a former French student wanting to maintain your French skills? Or perhaps you are a busy professional looking for a flexible, pay-as-you-go French class? Whichever the case, our casse-croûte classes are for you!
Meet Our Casse-Croûte Classes
In addition to our standard French classes for adults (6-week sessions), the Alliance Française de St. Louis offers casse-croûte classes, which are flexible and affordable pay-as-you-go classes. Spoiler: they’re just $60 for four classes (just $10 per hour of instruction)…or $30 for four if you’re already enrolled in a regular class (just $5 per hour of instruction)!
Casse-croûte classes take place every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Each day of the week follows a specific theme (i.e. politics on Monday, songs on Wednesday), but the topic of discussion changes every week. This means you can jump into any class - at any time - and you will never be behind. Show up as often as you’d like - every day or once a month!
Every class is offered in-person and remotely on Zoom with the exception of Tuesdays with Myriam, which is only in person at the Alliance.
Mondays - Politique
Come discuss a variety of topics relating to politics in France and the French-speaking world with Isabelle every Monday from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Suitable for B2 level learners and up.
Tuesdays - Littérature
Myriam's Tuesday casse-croûte on Tuesdays from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM encompasses a multitude of aspects from the practice of conversation on various topics about France past and present, to review and consolidation of grammar, vocabulary, and stylistic enrichment as well as culture and civilization.
A copy of the text discussed in class will be given weekly to each student.
Wednesdays - Chansons
One of the best ways to improve your vocabulary is through listening to French songs. In this casse-croûte on Wednesdays from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, we dive into a diverse selection of French songs as we analyze and discuss them.
Suitable for A2 level learners and up.
Thursdays - Culture Générale
Join us for the ultimate potpourri class on Thursdays from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. In this casse-croûte, very few topics are off-limits as we discuss all things related to French and Francophone culture - from the sublime to the ridiculous!
Suitable for B1 level learners and up.
