Hello everyone.
Welcome to the 2nd event of this series of mini-conferences called "Tell me a story.".
Our second guest speaker will be Andrew, based in Los Angeles.
The theme of his presentation will be :
"Le Québec, le Canada et la langue française"

\*\*\*

**Join Our French Learning Community Conferences**

We host a unique series of conferences featuring remarkable people who are learning French alongside you.
Each event centers around a passionate speaker who presents on a topic they love—entirely in French—for 15-25 minutes.

\*\*\*

**During the Presentation:**

* Please keep your microphone muted to maintain the flow
* Cameras are optional throughout the entire meeting
* If you choose to participate in discussions, we encourage turning your camera on for a more engaging experience

**After the Presentation:**

We open the floor for casual, respectful group discussion in French, where you can ask questions, exchange ideas, and share experiences related to the topic.

While our guest speakers may occasionally accommodate questions in English, we encourage you to stretch yourself by using French—even if it feels challenging. Growth happens outside our comfort zone, especially in language learning!

**Who Should Attend:**

* **Low-intermediate speakers** who can participate in simple conversations are warmly encouraged to join the discussion
* **Beginners or shy learners** are equally welcome to attend, listen, and absorb the French exposure

This is an excellent opportunity to hear spoken French and connect with fellow learners on the same journey.

**Our Community Values:** Every opinion is respected and everyone is welcome. We maintain a positive environment by avoiding divisive topics like politics, religion, and sexuality.

***

**Who is the guest speaker?**

The guest speakers will be individuals who took a French course with me. Each speaker does this on a voluntary basis in order to practice French and showcase something they love or truly care about or are deeply interested in.

***

**Who Can Join?**

This series of mini conferences is open to everyone who has a low intermediate understanding of French.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to enhance your French skills !!

a student of mine based in Dubai)

**60-min French Talk** :
Practice French with other French learners.

**Open to anyone with an A2 or B1 level in French.**

Whether you can speak somewhat easily or with some difficulty,
this is a fun and relaxed way to practice and improve your French
with other French speakers who have varying levels of proficiency
and are based in different countries.

You'll spend 60 minutes, having a group meeting, online,
using Google Meet.

I will not attend these meetings, as I already have engagements at that time. But a student of mine wants to practice and improve and this can be a fantastic opportunity for others to join and have a conversation in French.

Gaffar is a serious student, already well established in the UAE, working in the accounting field. His desire to improve in French is noticeable and he'd like to use these practice sessions in order to raise his oral comprehension and oral expression. Other learners are welcome, not only students of mine.

\*\*\*

**Participants:** 4 participants maximum

You need to have an A2 or B1 level (minimum) in French in order to join.

**If you are a native French speaker,**
we kindly ask you not to join, as space is limited
