Il dénonce l’hypocrisie qui règne dans la société de ces parvenus. C’est un livre qui fait sourire mais qui, par ailleurs révèle toutes les pourritures cachées dans les ménages. Matière à réflexion, sur le mariage, le statut des femmes et la vie de famille aujourd’hui et autrefois. Nous entrerons dans une maison bourgeoise, une maison haussmannienne, tout à fait bien ou vivent des gens comme il faut. Nous rencontrerons des familles de différentes classes qui ne vivent que pour l’apparence alors que derrière toutes ces belles portes d’acajou il y a des abîmes d’honnêteté !  Nous suivrons Octave Mouret, jeune homme arrivant de sa province, dans son ascension sociale et nous découvrirons avec lui l’envers de cette belle société. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies.

    Great group and L'Alliance NY representative. I now feel like I can navigate through France and communicate most of what I need to say and hear. I could not recommend this program more!

    The opportunity to converse about interesting topics. I wouldn’t change anything.

    Soha is the best! I love our group of students and she really knows how to teach grammar and makes it fun… I can visibly see our class improve each session.

    Everything. Above all, the teacher, the skill level of student participants, the dialogue and the instructional expertise. I wouldn’t change anything.

    I enjoy the focus on getting the students actually speaking in class. Other materials are presented in the homework, so it doesn’t take away from the time in class where more active participation occurs. I wouldn’t change anything.

    How easy it is for conversational interchange among all the students. The group is small enough and not intimidating, so that everyone gets his or her chance to talk.

    I liked the interaction with my peers, the skits we have to prepare in class, the readings we have to do out loud, the compositions we have do at home, and the teacher’s sense of humor.

    What I liked most about the class is that it’s very inclusive, so nobody feels left out… Estele makes it fun and interactive.

    The emphasis on speaking helped with my confidence.

    The kinship with the other students.
