What better way is there to improve your language skills?   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What could be more scholarly than the art of conversation, which requires knowledge of an entire history and mastery of multiple and ever-changing social and cultural codes?  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Passages<\/em> bases its instruction on the practice of conversational French.  <\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conversation and Language Learning  <\/h1>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Lesson from a Very Old Memory  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was seven years old when my parents hosted a family friend and her sixteen-year-old English pen pal for about two weeks. She was very shy and didn\u2019t dare speak in front of adults; I suggested she talk with me, away from the others. I remember how hard we both tried to speak clearly, our bond, and our laughter.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn&#8217;t be able to say today just how much progress he had made, but we had been speaking French more and more fluently.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Around a Short Story  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, as a student at the ENS, alongside my university coursework, I took English classes taught by an American woman for one semester. We would form a small group to discuss a short story by Henry James or Katherine Mansfield, sharing our interpretations of the texts. There were no academic stakes\u2014no grades, no evaluations\u2014and without even realizing it, we improved our English skills and gained confidence.    <\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Art of Conversation<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversation relies on well-honed rhetorical skills: listening to the other person, responding to them, choosing a tone of voice appropriate to the situation, and, above all, observing the rules and conventions of politeness.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several of Moli\u00e8re\u2019s comedies reflect his central role in human relationships: for example, <em>*The Misanthrope*<\/em> (1666) gives a central role to the character of C\u00e9lim\u00e8ne, a young, much-courted widow and a brilliant conversationalist. In the play, she mocks a certain B\u00e9lise:   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhat a dull woman\u2019s mind, and what a dry conversation!\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You have to constantly rack your brain trying to figure out what to say to him,<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>And the barrenness of his expression<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;It kills the conversation every time.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*The Misanthrope*<\/em>, 1666, Act II, Scene 4.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor B\u00e9lise\u2014whose first name cruelly echoes the word \u201cstupidity\u201d\u2014is thus rejected for her lack of intelligence, her inability to converse in social settings, and for the disastrous effect her presence has on a gathering: she hinders the flow of conversation and undermines the very purpose of these social gatherings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the background emerges the portrait of the ideal hostess\u2014creative, cheerful, and capable of enlivening gatherings of brilliant minds.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As early as the 16th century, treatises such as <em>*The Courtier*<\/em> by the Italian Baldassare Castiglione already emphasized two essential points: say nothing that is \u201cinappropriate\u201d or offensive, and say nothing that might upset the people with whom you are speaking.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Social Art  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The art of conversation is thus a social art. For a long time, it was practiced in salons where real people gathered; it moved outdoors to parks and gardens\u2014whether English or French\u2014and to caf\u00e9s such as \u201cLa R\u00e9gence\u201d in Paris during the 18th century; it is also depicted in novels. Thus, the five volumes of Honor\u00e9 d\u2019Urf\u00e9\u2019s <em>*L\u2019Astr\u00e9e*<\/em>, published between 1607 and 1627, brought to life characters of shepherds and shepherdesses who speak of friendship and love, away from the clamor of the world, far from wars and city politics, in an idealized rural setting. A 17th-century bestseller, known to people of all walks of life\u2014from the most sensitive to the most serious of the era\u2014this work brilliantly illustrates the power and charm of conversation and inspires readers to speak more eloquently in order to love more deeply.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely this spirit of \u201cFrench-style\u201d conversation that <em>Passages<\/em> seeks to recapture through a vibrant practice of the language and culture. Conversation thus emerges as both a means of learning the language and an enjoyable activity that provides knowledge and pleasure.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What could be simpler and more natural than conversation?
