Join our free French Dictation Workshop every Tuesday evening.

French Dictation Workshop — Free & Open to All
Date: Tuesdays, January 6 – March 10, 2026
Time: 5:00–6:30 pm (NY time)
Duration: 75 minutes per session

What is it?

You’ll listen to short passages read by a native speaker.
We do multiple passes (normal speed, then chunked), followed by on-screen correction with clear explanations of spelling, liaisons, agreements, and punctuation.

Because this event is open to everyone and due to large group size, participants will remain muted on Zoom — no pressure, just focused listening and writing.

***

Why join?

Build accuracy fast: accents, silent letters, agreements, and tricky verb forms.

Train real-life listening: connected speech, reductions, and rhythm.
Strengthen grammar you already “know” so it shows up on the page.

Who is it for?

Open to all levels. Beginners solidify core forms; intermediate and advanced learners target fine-grained accuracy and speed under time pressure.

What you’ll practice

Common homophones (a/à, et/est, son/sont, ces/ses, ou/où, etc.).
Agreements (noun/adjective, past participle with être/avoir when needed).
Liaisons and enchaînements that affect spelling choices.
High-frequency verb endings across tenses (présent, imparfait, passé composé, futur, conditionnel).
Punctuation and capitalization conventions.
Etc.

Practical Details:
