French Club is now live! Visit Professor Souray on the sunset balcony to learn a bit about French. Features include:

• Study the basics of French language.
• Study numbers, shopping, and essential verbs.
• More verbs, adverbs, and prepositions.
• Tricks, traps, and colloquialisms.
• Quiz battle against Chary to improve your Scholar skill a bit.

I’d like to improve this learning module mainly by adding voice to the basic word sets. I’m also not 100% sure the affection gains are working for Chary and Oshka. If you have any other suggestions or things that would help you and other students, please leave feedback.

• Discuss the symbolism and topics in tarot with Leonie.
