{Editorial}Namaste!Chers amis,Dear friends,

It is very much Spring at the Alliance Française !

For all the lovers of French litterature, Alliance Française in Kathmandu will be organizing a Used Book Sale on May 28th in Alliance's garden. Come to buy or sell all kinds of French books ! Along with the Used Book Sale" Le Bistrot" our French restaurant will propose you a Brunch to enjoy in the sunny garden of Alliance Française.

In June, as every year, Alliance Française in Kathmandu will celebrate Music Day "La Fête de la Musique" ! And this year we are glad to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Fête de la Musique" which first took place in France in 1982 and has since spread to many other countries. The purpose of this all-night music celebration on the summer solstice is to promote music for amateur and professional musicians with free concerts open to the public.

For 2011 edition, once again we invite a group from France for this very occasion. We offer you a concert by a great French band called Betty Argo, who plays amazing indie pop songs. They will make a tour in all India before coming in Nepal for an unique concert in Kathmandu at Nepal Academy Hall. Don't miss the chance to see these four incredible performers inspired by electro and rock music. Betty Argo will rock Kathmandu on June 27th!

As last year the concert organized in Bhaktapur was a big success, this year we decided to do it again on next Music Day June 21st. We are glad to welcome very talented students of AFK to perform on stage along with famous local bands.

On June 22nd, we will organize the second "AFK Music Contest" ! This contest is open to all young creative musicians below 25.

Visit our website www.alliancefrançaise.org,np to fill up the form. Winners selected by a jury of professionals will get the chance to play the first part of Betty Argo concert at Nepal Academy Hall, June 26th.

The new session of French classes just started and the whole AFK team would like to warmly welcome all our new students ! French langage is more and more popular in Kathmandu and we would like to thank you for your interest in French langage and French culture.

A great composer, a voice that would take your breath away, two magic musicians... welcome to the new French pop scene sensation. It is rock, electro, modern, powerful... served by Arnaud Cabibel's ultra-effective guitar rythms and Lenaa Roucaute's gentle vocals.

They're in obvious harmony, aided by their terrific musicians Samuel Strouk (bass/guitar) and Jérémie Pontier (Drums)... They really send us where the music demands, high up there, with them.

Tinged with Jazz, World, Soul and Reggae music, it is a generous, sexy, solid and essential brew and it is brand new... it is BeTTY ARGO.

At the Alliance Française in Kathmandu, we have chosen a rhythm of 50 hours per session, in order to settle a step by step learning pace of the required skills and knowledge. There are 14 levels, following the program of the three Connexions French books.

We also use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages to describe the level and progress of our students in accordance with a largely used and recognized scale of language proficiencies. According to the six levels of proficiency defined by the Council of Europe, students are then able to reach level A1 (Breakthrough level) after three sessions, A2 (Survival level) after 6 or 7 sessions, and B1 (the first stage of Independent User) after 12 sessions.

You can start the classes from any point: if you are not a beginner, you will just have to take a test before admission to check which level matches your proficiency.

Découvrez laBretagne !Une des plus belles régions d'un des plus beaux pays du monde, la Bretagne (Breizh en breton) mérite amplement l'appellation de

Terre de légendes. Son histoire, ses influences celtes, ses sites mystérieux, ses landes secrètes invitent au rêve*. Farouche et conviviale, plantée de monuments mégalithiques (les fameux dolmens et autres menhirs), terre de contrastes, cette région bigarrée possède toutes les couleurs, tous les tons possibles et un climat changeant fait pour tous les tempéraments.

La Bretagne, c'est la terre – argoat – et la mer – armor. Le pays des bois dans lesquels se cachent les fées et les Korrigans

que ceux qui ont des yeux pour voir et un cœur pour sentir peuvent rencontrer le long des sentiers ourlés de fougères et d'aubépines**. Le pays des marins et des corsaires, des îles fabuleuses, belles et sauvages. Le pays des Bretons, fiers et têtus, venus s'installer en Armorique, chassés de leur île (l'actuelle Grande-Bretagne) au Ve siècle par les Angles et les Saxons. Royaume puis Duché, la Bretagne sera finalement rattachée à la France en

1532.

Les bardes et les druides, le biniou et la bombarde, Brocéliande (actuelle forêt de Paimpont), Gauguin à Pont-Aven, Merlin l'enchanteur et la fée Viviane, Chateaubriand et Tristan Corbière, les monastères et les saints, Michel Lebris et Louis Guilloux, l'Ankou et les pardons, l'agriculture et la pêche, Max Jacob et Yan Queffélec, les festivals de danses et de musiques celtiques, Tabarly, les contes et

légendes ; une région de 4 millions d'habitants, dynamique, entreprenante, à la fois très attachée à ses racines et ouverte sur le monde : la terre et la mer. La poésie. Découvrez la Bretagne !

*Merci à Tourisme Bretagne et **Thierry Jigourel.
