Nous vous invitons à participer à notre 2e dictée qui sera organisée en ligne sur Zoom le 11 septembre à 18h30. Après le grand succès de la première -- que l'on peut appeler "dictée du confinement" -- nous serons de retour en septembre, le mois de la rentrée en France. Rejoignez-nous pour une expérience authentiquement française, apprenez ce que c'est qu'une "dictée à la française", et faites travailler vos méninges avec Directeur Exécutif de l'Alliance Française à Washington, Sarah Diligenti ! Un « bonus » avec des questions sur la grammaire suivra la dictée.
L'événement est gratuit et ouvert à tous ! Nous recommandons cependant un niveau de français B2. Tous les inscrits recevront un lien vers Zoom avec les instructions quelques jours avant l'événement.
“Wherever you are in the world, forget about that now, close your eyes … and imagine that you are being transported into the eighth arrondissement of Paris,” says Oliver Gee, the host of the popular Paris podcast The Earful Tower.
The podcast has 60,000 downloads per month and was recently lauded by the New York Times as a great way to travel by ear. Originally from Australia, Oliver has lived in Paris since 2015. Paris On Air, a memoir telling the often laugh-out-loud stories from his past five years in the French capital, is his first book.
Join us for a live virtual meeting with Oliver on Sunday, September 20, at 11 a.m. via Zoom. It will be mostly in English with a smattering of French terms. Oliver will show us the view of the Eiffel Tower from his Montmartre apartment and he’ll share readings from his memoir. Look for a lively Q&A session where he shares his tips on Paris, the language, and more!
This online event is free. Registrants will receive an exclusive discount code for a hot-off-the-press copy of his book Paris on Air. If you don't receive the code, email executive.assistant@francedc.org.

Dans la région du DMV, nous avons la chance d’être entourés par une riche communauté noire et une riche communauté francophone. Nous avons accès à une diversité de voix, de perspectives, et de cultures. Maintenant est arrivé le temps de les soutenir, de les écouter, et d’amplifier leurs voix.
Comment s’y prendre ? Quelles actions mener ?
Lire. Écouter. Parler. Voter. Soutenir. S’éduquer.
En s’inspirant de la bibliothèque publique de DC, de la bibliothèque nationale de France, et de plusieurs librairies indépendantes, nous avons établi une liste de livres, d’articles et de liens pour aborder le problème du racisme en français.
