French 2 students are actively participating in an exchange of letters with pen-pals in France. Students at the Lycée Saint-Exupéry in Lyon are writing to MHS students in English, and in turn our students write to them in French. It has been rewarding for them to realize that it's ok if the grammar isn't perfect and they are all learning a language. Can your correspondent understand you? That is the main goal.
So far this year, the students have already exchanged letters twice, and of course have connected on Instagram and Snapchat! Through this authentic exchange (via regular mail), they will write about themselves, their families, sports, music and movies, as well as their travels. Receiving actual letters on French paper and seeing how differently the handwriting is - that alone is very interesting. Later in the year, there will also be an exchange of quick videos, which are a lot of fun to watch.
We are very lucky to have this opportunity, and I'm sure it will be a very rewarding exchange all year!
