Casual Conversations in French (with Gaffar,
a student of mine based in Dubai)

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

***

MINIMUM LEVEL OF FRENCH REQUIRED:
Anyone with an A2 or B1 level in French.

PLEASE note that if you can barely talk in French, you might be
asked to not participate in these events hosted by Gaffar.

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.

Please note that The French Club (Montreal)’s no-show policy applies to all events, including his.

If you book a spot and do not attend and do not cancel in advance, it counts as a no-show. After two no-shows, you will be removed from The French Club (Montreal) Meetup group.

If you book, please either attend or cancel before the meeting so someone else can take the spot. Thank you for your cooperation.
