This Moveable Feast

Course Type: Literature

Start Date: Tuesday, July 30 8pm EDT / 7pm CDT

Format: 4 one-hour Zoom sessions

Hemingway’s memoir sets the world to dreaming, and Paris of the 1920s springs to life in this slim volume published after the author’s 1961 death. We’ll read the book, but also take in movies, texts and articles that provide a richer background for fully savoring Ernest’s Paris in ways that “will stay with you, wherever you go.”

French-for-Travel Boot Camp

Course Type: Language

Start Date: Saturday, August 10 noon EDT / 11 am CDT

Format: 4 one-hour Zoom sessions

This course will give you the immersion tools, pragmatic vocabulary, and conversational practice you’ll need to dust off your French and move toward official A2 level language competency—whether greeting, wayfinding, or buying your daily baguette.

Navigating Paris

Course Type: Lifestyle

Start Date: Thursday, September 5. 8pm EDT / 7pm CDT

Format: 4 one-hour Zoom sessions

Getting around Paris and France can be daunting, but not if you have some context and advance prep. We’ll discuss pragmatic aspects of trains and subways, buses and bikes, taxis and Ubers, planes and airports. You’ll emerge with apps and profiles set up and passes and tickets in hand – everything to travel with confidence.

$95 includes a reading list for a four-session course, professor-guided instructions, and writing guidance/editing of your reflections.
