When you say ‘I’m taking a French class’, what you are really saying is that you are taking a class about the French language.
“La langue” being feminine, the adjective “française” is also in the feminine.
In French you cannot say “French class”. Your class is not French itself: it’s a class about the French language. “French class” is an idiom in English. So translating word by word and saying: “une classe française” is a mistake.
It may be a mistake, but it’s very common in French to say “une classe de français” for both people and content.
The third course in a French dinner may include a wide variation of cooking styles according to the different regions in France. For instance, Bretagne in the northwest of France uses more butter and cream in its cooking, whereas areas in the east of France use more sausages and sauerkraut in their meals. The main course of a French dinner typically includes either meat, fish or poultry, often accompanied by vegetables and/or starches. Wine is served throughout the meal – red wine to go with red meat and white wine to go with white meat or fish. Salad may be served after the main course as a palate cleanser.
A glass of champagne is the best alcoholic drink to be served during this first course in a french dinner. Other options include light cocktails and drinks that are specific to each French region, such as Kir in the north and Pastis in the South of France. Nuts, olives and crackers are also served alongside these alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic aperitif drinks are set aside for any children who are present for the French dinner.
French cheese like Roquefort can be served during the cheese course.
Dessert in a French dinner is similar to desserts from other types of cuisines in that it is sweet to the taste and can be either hot or cold. Since it is served towards the end of the French dinner, dessert is commonly light and small to prevent guests from feeling too full.
French onion soup is often an appetizer in a French dinner. Terrine is a common French appetizer. In the eastern regions of France, sauerkraut may be served as a side dish during the third course of dinner. French cheese like Roquefort can be served during the cheese course.
