If you're not in the habit of taking part in Dictées pour tous to work on your spelling and your knowledge of the French language, perhaps the next one will whet your appetite! It will take place in one of the capital's most beautiful monuments, the Hôtel de la Marine, located on Place de la Concorde, on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 2pm to 5pm, as part of the Francophonie Summit.
A great opportunity to test yourself against a text that represents the French language, by writer Guy de Maupassant, in a sumptuous setting. Three levels are available, so all ages can take part: primary, junior high and high school/adults. Of course, the dictation is free, but don't forget to register in advance! After a correction session, a prize will be awarded to the best copy in each category!
Founded in 2013 by Abdellah Boudour, these giant dictations criss-cross France and contribute to the fight against illiteracy.
