WANTED : English-speaking families!


At Pierre MENDES-FRANCE Collège in SAINT-ANDRE, we are hoping to continue this year a language project started last year with one of our smaller 3ème classes. Our pupils -aged 14 or 15- have little opportunity to practise their English and, as many British families have come to live here, in the foothills of the Albères, I thought it would be a good idea to invite them to help with our new “Chatterbox” project.

“Chatterbox” provides the pupils with an opportunity to meet English-speaking families, who are invited to come to the Collège once a month for an hour’s informal conversation on Thursdays from 3 to 4 p.m.

If we wish to make a success of this idea, we need goodwill and commitment on both sides. You may find this plan a bit of a pipe-dream, but I do have faith in people’s genuine desire to communicate for the sake of it, and I believe that this project would encourage and motivate our teenagers.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact me at the following e-mail address:
