Julian Hale’s talks are usually held once a month. These special sessions, supported by the CBTI-BKVT Anglo-French Network (RAF), take the form of open discussions in English on cultural topics such as history, literature, and language.
What to expect
An informal, interactive evening where participants can bring along something cultural or language-related — a book, an article, an anecdote, or simply a question.
Think of it as a free-flowing conversation, where topics might include:
- Why English shamelessly raids French for half its vocabulary
- The odd things history textbooks don’t tell you
- Expressions that defy translation (and make us laugh trying)
- The cultural meaning of food and drink (wine, tea, or Marmite… discuss!)
We’ll go where the conversation takes us, and also brainstorm future sessions.
