This class is a continuation of French 1, and we will move forward with Units 4–6. The emphasis remains on learning to speak French and engaging in basic conversation, with French culture woven into each weekly lesson. Students should purchase Language Hacking: French, which provides the structure for the course and helpful practice opportunities between class sessions. J’espère vous voir bientôt! (Hope to see you soon.)

Silvertones is a glee club for seniors – no auditions! We welcome anyone who wants to sing. Our focus is on performance of music that is both fun and entertaining, as well as serious; we sing both religious and non-religious music. This spring is our 10th anniversary, so we are celebrating by performing many of our favorite songs from past semesters, going all the way back to 2016! Silvertones gives a free public concert each semester and performs for as many as a half dozen senior groups and retirement centers as well. Participation in performances is expected unless there are extenuating circumstances. Except for the public event, most performances are in the afternoon or for a luncheon. Great camaraderie adds to the fun - we are a very social group. One or two extra rehearsals may be scheduled throughout the semester in order to be fully concert-ready by the third weekend in May
