The Tuesday group for this next French Book Club March / April 2025 is sold out. The groups are small (5 people max for a cosy and fruitful experience) so the spots go quickly, first with current participants and people on the wait list since they find out about the next event before everyone else does.
If you wish you could have participated (Madame Pylinska et le secret de Chopin is a stunning, moving, and hilarious book about the author himself as a young man taking rather unusual piano classes to improve the way he plays Chopin), let me know by answering this email.
With enough interest I'll happily open a Friday group :
March 21
March 28
April 4
April 11
As always we will meet at 6pm French time, for 1.5 hours, on Zoom. The class will be recorded so you can watch it again later as many times as you'd like. When I say "you" I mean the participants, it obviously won't be shared with anyone anywhere else.
I will also send you your weekly homework to help you prepare (and make sure you work hard) for each meeting.
Let me share with you here what it says on the back cover of the book
"Madame Pylinska, aussi accueillante qu'un buisson de ronces, impose une méthode excentrique pour jouer du piano : se coucher sous l'instrument, faire des ronds dans l'eau, observer le vent, écouter le silence, faire lentement l'amour... Au fil de ses cours, le jeune Éric-Emmanuel apprend bien plus que la musique, il apprend la vie.
L'oeuvre de Chopin donne-t-elle un sens à l'existence ? Aidera-t-elle le narrateur à comprendre son chemin, et saisir le secret bouleversant d'une personne aimée ?"

The whole course costs €249 (or €41.5 / hour) and includes :

The Udyog Vihar Escort agencies ensure that every companion is trained to engage on multiple levels, making conversations equally delightful as the intimate moments. The presence of a VIP escort enhances the experience with their sophistication, grooming, and elite manners.
That sounds wonderful! A small group setting definitely encourages deeper discussion and makes it feel more intimate. I'm envious of everyone who got a spot. While waiting for the next opening, I've been trying to keep my mind sharp with games. It's a totally different direction, but I've actually found that playing something like Drift Hunters can be surprisingly relaxing and engaging. Maybe I should have started learning French much earlier!
I recently joined a small French book club similar to the one described here, and it was an amazing experience. The intimate group size made discussions lively and very personal, helping me improve both my language skills and cultural understanding. Having weekly homework and recorded sessions was especially helpful for reviewing tricky parts at my own pace. Plus, reading a unique and entertaining book like Madame Pylinska et le secret de Chopin made the learning process enjoyable. If you want a fun way to relax after intense language sessions, I recommend trying the Slope Game as a light entertainment option.
This French Book Club sounds like an amazing opportunity! I love the idea of exploring Madame Pylinska et le secret de Chopin in such a intimate setting. The blend of literature and music is intriguing, and it reminds me of how games like Bitlife can involve decision-making and storytelling in engaging ways.
It was immediately apparent that the Call Girl Goa was not just beautiful but also considerate, ensuring that every aspect of our time together was to my satisfaction.
