Les Copains FRENCH Discussion Group

We are meeting via Zoom every Saturday, 9:30-11:00am California time. To receive the Zoom link, which is the same for every meeting, please RSVP and also send your email address to me at [email protected]. I will then also send you my phone number in case you have questions.

Meanwhile, here is the description of our events for future reference:

If you love the French language and if you speak French well enough for a basic conversation, our “Les Copains Napa French Discussion Group” may be perfect for you. Whether you are a native French speaker or studied the language somewhere along the line, we look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions, please contact the organizer at [email protected]. À bientôt!

We meet each Monday on Zoom from 5:45-6:45pm Pacific Time. I first talk to each new member to learn his/her skill level. I then give one or two private Zoom lessons to cover the basics I have already taught the other members of the group, and then you will start attending our weekly Zoom meetings in which we practice opening principles and middle-game tactics while introducing some end-game principles as well. I encourage people to send me games they have played on chess.com or lichess.org. Sometimes I show these to the group, and sometimes I just provide feedback on the member's game. I also show games I have played, chosen to illustrate some of the points we have covered in the lessons. I occasionally show famous games like Adolf Anderssen's "Immortal Game" and "Evergreen Game" so we can all admire his incredible skill level, even though none of us are likely to ever attain this level. I also use sample positions, puzzles, and other techniques to reinforce the lessons we cover. THIS IS STRICTLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BEGINNERS, NOVICES, AND MEDIOCRE AMATEURS.
