⭐ Entre Nous — The French Chat Club ⭐
Conversations in French, About All & Everything

***

Join us for a relaxed Friday evening gathering where French learners come together to practice conversation in a warm, judgment-free environment. Think of it as your virtual French café—a place to unwind after the week, connect with fellow learners, and simply enjoy speaking French.

This session is designed for adults at all levels (A2 and above) who want to use their French in authentic, meaningful conversations. Join if you can create sentences, understand and reply to questions, express yourself even if partially or imperfectly.

Whether you've just completed your first course or you're more advanced, you're welcome here. We'll explore topics that range from lighthearted and fun to thought-provoking and deep, depending on where the conversation takes us. Topics will change week after week.

There's no curriculum, no homework, and no pressure—just the pleasure of connecting with others through the French language. Share stories, discuss ideas, laugh together, and practice your French in the most natural way possible: by having real conversations.

Come as you are, bring your favorite beverage, and let's enjoy that cozy café atmosphere together—from wherever you are in the world. :)

* Express opinions, preferences, and feelings in conversations (e.g., likes, dislikes, comparisons)

This course will boost your fluency and confidence in real-life social, travel, and professional situations while reinforcing key grammar and vocabulary.

***

Curriculum & Study Materials

* Each week, you receive a comprehensive PDF (~80–120 pages) divided into 5 modules.

* Each module includes structured lessons, vocabulary, grammar, examples, and exercises.

* Highly recommended: 2 hours of daily self-study (10 hours/week).

* Weekly study guides and homework sections included in each weekly document.

* Each week concludes with an optional self-assessment exam and answer key.

* If you have questions during the week, you can ask in the dedicated WhatsApp group.

***

Class Structure

Each weekly 2.5-hour session is divided into two parts:
1. Review and clarification of core concepts (70 min. or less)
2. Practice through exercises and live conversations (70 min. or more)

Each group meeting will include a 10-min break about halfway.

This B2 French course (over 10 weeks) is given in a semi-private setting (7 students maximum) where interactions will be encouraged via exercises done each week during the classes, along with assisting students with their pronunciation.

The personalized attention and small group setting explain the fee for the course.

***

Communication & Support

* All materials and announcements are shared in a dedicated WhatsApp group. You will need the WhatsApp app in order to receive the documents and updates.

* Students can ask questions and exchange messages throughout the course.

* Course documents and reminders are sent via WhatsApp before each class.

***

Cost & Payment Options

The preferred option is full payment at least one week before the course begins to secure your spot (providing that the course is not sold out).

If your budget is tight, you may choose a weekly plan: $28 CAD per week, due at least 24 hours before each class (including the first session). If payment isn’t received on time, you won't be allowed in the goup class.

Please select the weekly plan only if you intend to complete the full course. If you choose the weekly option and skip two group classes (consecutively or not), your enrollment will be ended (to prevent people from jumping in and out whenever it suits them).

* Full Course Fee: $280 CAD for the complete 10-week program

* Weekly Option: $28 CAD per class (paid 24h in advance, one class at a time)

Comparable courses over 10 weeks cost approximately $700 CAD in Toronto and NYC, with the Alliance Française or other schools.

Therefore, this course is less than half price, compared to competitors.

Additionally, not all schools could guarantee that you would be in a small group setting (with a total of 7 students).

***

Refund Policy

If you choose the full payment option and decide to withdraw from the course, refunds are calculated as follows:

If you attended 2 group classes or less than 2:

• Refund of the full $280 CAD.

If you attended 3 group classes or more:

• No refund available

In any case, if you end the group classes, you will no longer have access to the WhatsApp group or receive the course materials for the remaining sessions.

***

Registration Starts and Ends?

Registration for the 10-week semi-private (paid) group classes (A1 to B2) are open as of October 5, 2025, and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

Once a group reaches its maximum number of participants (7), registration for that group closes, and this can happen at any time.

Securing your spot early by completing payment is the only way to guarantee your place. Simply expressing interest or waiting until the last moment does not guarantee availability.

The final deadline to register for the upcoming January 2026 10-week session (for any semi-private group class) is December 31, 2025 at midnight (NY time). After this date, no new registrations will be accepted, regardless of your circumstances.
