The First Passport

Introduction to French Language & Culture with Dr. Sabrina Wengier

The traveler arrived in Paris with only three French words.

By the end of the week, there were dozens more.

Not enough to write a novel.

More than enough to open a door.

A greeting shared with a shopkeeper. An order placed at a café. A simple conversation that turned a visit into an experience.

Language has always been more than vocabulary.

It is culture.

History.

A different way of seeing the world.

This unique experience offers a delightful introduction to the French language and the vibrant culture that surrounds it, led by Dr. Sabrina Wengier, Professor of French at Middle Georgia State University.

Part language lesson, part cultural journey, this engaging session introduces participants to essential French words and phrases while exploring the traditions, customs, and everyday life that make France one of the world's most celebrated cultural destinations.

Learn how to greet someone in French.

Discover the nuances behind common expressions.

No prior experience required.

No exams.

No pop quizzes.

Just curiosity and a willingness to embrace something new.

Because every great journey begins with a single word.
