Five Board Games to Help You Learn French During Lockdown
Channel: Andrew Venus
Date: 2021-02-16

Games à la Carte is a social event which combines French language learning and board games. We've been hosting Games à la Carte in conjunction with French in Newcastle (https://www.facebook.com/frenchnewcastle) for the last couple of years, helping people learn French through play. But the country is still under lockdown, and there are no signs we'll be able to host Games à la Carte again any time soon. So this video is here to inspire you to host your own event at home, with five simple games you can use to learn some French vocabulary and phrases.
