    Hummersknott Comprehensive here and we did Jean claude, Marie France et al, I seem to remember a newspaper called Depeche d’Ambiers as well. Also Lieslotte ,Lumpi and Ceacilius too. have to say when the Latin course opened in sunny Pompeii we suspected it might not end well for all concerned.

    I always preferred Sammy Davis Jr to Dean Martin.

    La famille Bertillon were knocking about in the 60s. I started secondary in 72 and our books were well thumbed/knackered by then luckily as all of the vocab was at the bottom of the pages, and Mme nutty kate couldnt work out why the fools at the back got good test marks.

    We had tricolore too, I am sure we used another book as well.
    Bibliobus rings a bell.

    Ah yes Longmans Audio Visual was my first taste of French in the mid to late 70s. Les Marsauds – wasn’t monsieur Lafayette their schoolteacher?
    I remember listening to the tapes while our teacher Arthur Cox nipped into the storeroom at the back of the classroom for a fag. Poor old sod couldn’t get through 40 minutes with us without a smoke.
    I also encountered Caecillius as Latin was compulsory for the first two years.
    Didn’t do the same German course mentioned above but during many of our lessons we got plenty of (not so relevant) first-hand accounts of WW2 in Northern Italy where our teacher saw front-line action.
