Invitation to participate in the 7th International French Spell Bee 2019

Le Frehindi, Paris, is pleased to announce the 7th edition of the prestigious Inter-School International
Concours d’Orthographe 2019 (International French Spell Bee 2019), an event which is open to all
students learning French at schools in India and any other non- Francophone countries.

Last year, we saw 150 schools from 5 countries vie for the top honours and taking away the beautiful
‘International Spell Bee Trophy’. The competition was spread over 3 rounds of intensive assessment of
their French proficiency. The event was widely covered in the media and drew support from top officials
from French & Belgian embassies in India.

Through this letter, I would like to invite your prestigious school to participate in the International French
Spell Bee 2019 and offer your French learners a rare opportunity to distinguish themselves while bringing
more laurels to the school.

Here’s a brief information on the 7th edition of the International French Spell Bee.

While there is no specific syllabus for the Spell Bee, we highly recommend all participating students to go
through our special “Word Bank guide”, which will offer a standardized basis of evaluation at all the three
levels. The Word Bank Guide will be made available to all participating students for Free along with the
registration.

Certificates and Prizes


One of the unique aspects of our Spell Bee championships is that while we recognize and reward individuals
who are talented, we believe that the schools and their teachers are equally responsible for developing and
supporting the love for an International language.
