Or maybe about how croissants and macarons are made? What about how to introduce yourself to someone in French? In this six-week virtual course, "Bonjour and Bienvenue!: All About France" we will answer those questions by exploring French culture and learning simple phrases. From Marie Antionette to The Tour de France, we’ll start by diving into French history and sports. Then we will learn about French holiday traditions just in time for Mardi Gras! We will then journey through French food from, music, art, and learn about how France pops up in American entertainment too, such as Ratatouille and Beauty and the Beast. Finally, we will wrap up the course with learning about fashion and students will get to design their own itinerary for if they want to visit France! Come learn more about France and immerse yourself in French culture!


Upcoming Sessions


Cancellation Policy

Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
