**A Welcome from Jaime**

"I truly believe that we are all here to learn together, and I hope these meetings help us connect, support one another, and even build friendships. I will be hosting these sessions myself and everyone is welcome, as long as you have at least an A2 or B1 level in French so you can take part in real conversations.

If you bring a positive attitude, enjoy seeing the bright side of things, and are open, friendly, and sociable, these meetings are for you. We’ll explore a new discussion topic each week, while avoiding sensitive subjects such as politics, religion, or sexuality.

Please join me every week from 7 to 8 pm Mountain Time (9 to 10 pm Toronto). I look forward to seeing you soon!"

**French Exam Practice Exercises (oral expression) with Gaffar, a student of mine, based in Dubai**

Practice French with other French learners.

The focus is on practicing oral expression for any type of French exams, B2 level.

Gaffar will use, when needed, the framework I have developed, in order to structure, improve and refine your oral expression skills related to a B2 French test. That method is called C.O.P.A.R.E.

\*\*\*

**Méthode C.O.P.A.R.E., créé par François Normandeau**

Objectif :

Aider les étudiants à préparer une réponse orale structurée, cohérente et nuancée en 10 minutes, pour la produire à l'oral en 5 à 7 minutes au niveau B2/C1.
