New sessions of French reacquisition classes

LEWISTON — The Franco-American Heritage Center is pleased to announce the latest cycle of their well-known French Reacquisition classes. This offering is a series of six workshops specifically tailored for people who wish to relearn or reawaken their French language skills.

The classes begin on Wednesday, September 19 and continue to October 24. For those who want to continue and take additional classes, there will be three other sessions. The second session runs from January 9 through February 13; the third session begins March 6 and ends April 10 and the fourth session begins April 24 and ends May 29.

Leading the course will be Diane Cecile Pelletier-Perron. Born into a large Franco-American family right here in Lewiston, Diane's parents always spoke French in the home.
