A beautiful poem written by one of Eric’s C1–C2 students, who kindly gifted it to her teacher. She was inspired by a statue during her trip to Europe this summer. A wonderful example of how learning French can inspire creativity, reflection, and a deeper connection with art and culture.
With her A1.4 French class, our teacher Valentine explored travel memories and the Impressionist movement. As part of this project, she invited her students to use artificial intelligence to create their own artwork inspired by Impressionism. It was a creative way to combine language learning, art, and technology while encouraging them to express their personal travel experiences.
A huge thank you to
everyone who joined us to celebrate
Bastille Day in collaboration with Hendy's
on Henderson

It was a fantastic evening filled with laughter, French spirit, great conversations, and wonderful company. A
special thank you to everyone who embraced our
French Cliché Outfit theme—you truly made the
celebration even more fun and memorable! From berets and striped shirts to baguettes, moustaches, and creative costumes, everyone
really got into the spirit, and it was a joy to see.
Thank you all for bringing such incredible creativity, humor, and enthusiasm to the celebration. Your energy
is what makes our community so special.
We look forward to seeing you again at our upcoming cultural events and French classes.
Until next time, merci et à bientôt!

AFD had the exciting opportunity to be interviewed by NBC as part of their coverage of the FIFA World Cup! 🇫🇷⚽️
It was a wonderful moment to share our passion for French culture, celebrate the strength of our Francophone community in Dallas, and talk
about the incredible excitement surrounding the French national team’s World Cup journey.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week at SMU for the screening of Motherland by Johanna Makabi, followed by a
thoughtful and engaging Q&A session.
It was a real pleasure to share this special evening with such an attentive and curious audience. We were truly inspired by the quality of
the reflections, the questions, and the conversations that continued well beyond the screening.
Events like this — where cinema becomes a space for dialogue, discovery, and cultural exchange — are exactly what we aim to foster within
the Alliance Française de Dallas community.
Thank you again for your presence, your energy, and your participation. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this evening so
meaningful.

In the A2.2 class, our teacher Charlotte introduced a 10-minute activity one month ago to help students reflect on their learning
journey. Since then, it has become a meaningful part of the class, giving learners a chance to recognize their progress, build confidence,
and celebrate how much they have achieved in French over the past weeks.
Here is one of their first podcast projects: La Famille de Joey — a great example of their creativity and the confidence they are
building through speaking French.

Here are the texts written by the winners of Dis-moi, dix mots, the writing competition held during Le Mois de la Francophonie. Each piece is a short story in French (100 to 200 words) on the theme of our future in this world. The stories are original and creative, with a strong quality of expression. They include at least five of the ten required words, and no use of artificial intelligence is allowed. The entries were judged on originality and creativity, quality of expression, and respect of the rules.
It was a truly delightful and inspiring evening, and we are sincerely grateful to have shared it with you.
Your presence, curiosity, and enthusiasm made the experience all the more memorable and meaningful.
We hope you enjoyed discovering Chef Sebastian Rast’s culinary journey, gaining insights into the art of fine cuisine, and experiencing the
thoughtfully curated wine pairings that accompanied the conversation.
Moments like these—where gastronomy, culture, and dialogue come together—are what make our community so special.
Thank you once again for being part of this wonderful event.
Grateful for an inspiring and memorable evening!
