On May 2, 2025, another meeting of French language enthusiasts took place. The conversation club opened the discussion on the topic “The Art of Living à la Française.” The meeting was moderated by Olena Krekoten, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Foreign Languages of SNAU.
Participants learned about the meaning of the expression “living à la française” and why it is considered an art and a way of life for the French. They discussed a video about the features of a French breakfast and the tradition of the aperitif before meals, identified seven cultural elements unique to the French nation, dramatized a dialogue about a French bakery, compared fashion styles, distinguished between HAUTE COUTURE and PRÊT-À-PORTER, and discovered five steps to French elegance. The song “Je veux” by French singer ZAZ facilitated a discussion on the cultural values of the French and Ukrainians.
