Waching daily Nov 2 2018

Hello and welcome to Learn French with Alexa. During the summer I had the privilege to meet Sylvie.

Sylvie has set up a company called "Parfum de France" and she is going to talk a little bit about it.

Now remember that you can watch this video with French, English subtitles. French or English subtitles. Very useful to you.

Now the first question that I asked Sylvie was: "How did Parfum de France start, how did it come about?"

After 20 years as Head of the Chamber of Commerce of the Language Studies Center, we had a beautiful property in Fontevraud and therefore we renovated an outbuilding, that is to say a building outside the main residence,

and then we renovated this building, and from that moment, passionate Francophiles from all over the world, they can stay in the house.

And they take their cup of coffee in the morning. The classroom is between my main residence and the cottage and here we begin by living an experience

because that's really what I want them to do, is that they learn the language through French culture,

by living the experience, meeting the people of Fontevraud, Professionals of the abbey, all local partners. It's an adventure that we live for a week.

Ok, how much of this did you understand? Now Sylvie is offering immersion courses in France.

It sounds very exciting. But I asked her how many could go into the property and learn French with her. How many?

So I made a choice, it is to specialize in the individual or the semi-individual [course], because for years, I found that in the group classes the time was shared

and if we wanted to achieve a specific goal and maintain a privileged relationship,

you should not have many people, and for a week, well, I'm the person from morning till night

and during the excursions, well if there are mistakes, because you have to make mistakes to speak, well I can say, you always say that, and that's not it, there, there something is wrong.

But these ... so these immersions, we'll talk about it after, it's changing, but of course they were rich exchanges

and in fact, I like you, I have a second ... we will say cap. I love English so much so I'm completely bilingual

and 50% of my time, I give English lessons to local French, so what happens is that I put them together!

And that ... they are obliged to ... they are not obliged, they are seekers [they want] to connect to each other in the conversation.

Merci beaucoup Sylvie, that was really informative.

Actually if you want to check more about Sylvie's business, go to Parfum de France or check her Facebook account as well called Parfum de France.

Goodbye, see you soon, kiss kiss, bye!

Poème : Je me souviens de mon Enfance de Cécile Sauvage, le Vallon 1913 - Duration: 0:56.

Reading the poem "I remember my childhood" of Cécile Sauvage, from the collection "Le

Vallon ", 1913:

I remember my childhood And silence where I was cold;

I felt so much about myself The look of indifference.

O youth, I see you again Small and folded,

Sitting and collecting voices From your soul almost forgotten.

Honoring Taino Traditions with Jarina de Marco | Be You - Duration: 2:41.

- My name is Jarina De Marco and I am a musician.

My mother's teachings have influenced my identity.

You can't know where you're going if you

don't know where you came from.

And having your roots deep and steady allows you

to bear fruit and grow.

- [Irka Mateo] The Taino people

are the indigenous people

of the Caribbean, who went through so much hardship.

These people need to be acknowledged

because they are our ancestors

and also for our identity.

This is part of the mix of really knowing who you are.

(melodic rhythmic indigenous music)

- [Jarina] We're going to build an altar.

In the center will be the God of Yuca.

- [Irka] His name is Yocahú Bagua Maorocoti

He can make the crops healthy and abundant.

Then we're going to thank him for the work

that he's going to do.

- [Jarina] My mother moved here

and we started implementing the Taino ceremonies,

and, sure enough, we blessed it

and my garden went wild.

It became a tradition in my house to always,

before we'd plant everything, we'd make the ceremony.

My mother would bring me into forests and jungles

and she would teach me the names of all of the trees

and the fruits and I, still to this day,

walk around the neighborhood and I can

name you pretty much every tree.

That comes from her.

It all kind of blended together,

creating what I am now,

which is so many cultures in one.

(drumming and singing)

It's so primal, the voice and the drums,

and that is something that occurs in my music all the time.

That is a direct link from me seeing my mother.

Having roots are so important to me because

it cements me in my identity.

I've never faltered as to who I am as a person.

I know who I am and where I come from.

And that gives me so much strength and compassion.

It really centers me and makes me feel

like I'm standing really strong on the earth.

(strong drumming and singing)
