Sunday's Parisian Promenade had something for everybody. On Sunday afternoon, Jennifer Kerns held a session at the garden gazebo, giving the audience French lessons. At the time of the photo, she was engaging the audience in a call and response dialog (How are you? Fine Thank you, and you?), which explains the pointing and the animated expression on her face.
Having Mademoiselle Kerns teaching French on Sunday was a wonderful addition to Greensboro's Parisian Promenade. After presenting to the audience gathered at the gazebo, she facilitated learning sessions in one of the upper garden spaces at the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden. Monday through Friday, Mademoiselle teaches French at Grimsley High School. For North Carolina world language teachers and their students, one of the expectations is to use the language in the community. Mademoiselle's lessons on Sunday were a great example of using French beyond the classroom. To the Tanger Family, Greensboro Beautiful, Mademoiselle Kerns and all involved in the Parisian Promenade: Merci beaucoup d'avoir offert de petits cours de français/Thank you for offering the mini-French lessons.
sounds fun!

Admittedly, my French has become very rusty.
