LEWISTON — L/A’s Franco Center will begin its next session of weekly French classes on Monday, Nov. 2.

The classes will be held on Mondays from 6 to 8 p.m. and run for seven weeks in November and December.

“French Reacqu” classes at the Center are intended for those who either want to learn French or who want to improve what they already know. The pace is relaxed and classes are taught in French with English explanations as needed. Participants are asked to bring a binder or folder and a writing utensil to class.

Veteran instructor, Vanessa Stasse, will teach the course. Born in Sherbrooke, Québec, from Belgian parents, she has a master’s degree in anthropology from Laval University in Québec City and has lived in Maine more than 10 years, teaching French and yoga and interpreting in French, English and Portuguese.

Classes will take place at the Franco Center, and the total cost for the seven classes is $70.
