✨ Atelier de Conversation en Français — 10 Semaines — Niveau A2/B1✨

✨ 10-WEEK ONLINE CONVERSATION PROGRAM ✨
Maximum 5 students – 1.5 hours per week – Live on Zoom

French level required: A2 (minimum) or B1

You need to be able to express yourself over 30 minutes
even if you do make mistakes with verbs and conjugation, etc.

If you started to learn French not long ago and can't speak freely by yourself, this workshop is not a good option.

***

Join a small, supportive group of motivated French learners for a 10-week live conversation program designed to help you speak with greater confidence, fluidity, and spontaneity.

With a maximum of five students, each 1.5-hour class on Zoom offers structured practice through realistic role plays, guided discussions, and weekly themes such as dining out, debating, planning a trip, storytelling, and talking about books, holidays, and future plans.

Before each session, you receive targeted vocabulary and expressions so you always arrive prepared.

This workshop is ideal for A2–B1 learners who can already express themselves for at least 30 minutes and want to strengthen their oral skills in a dynamic, interactive environment.

If you’re ready to talk, react, explain, and enjoy real conversation in French, this course is the perfect next step.

***

BEFORE EACH CLASS
You will receive:
• A curated vocabulary list for the week’s theme you need to review
• Useful idiomatic expressions
• A few warm-up questions to answer spontaneously

***

DURING THE FIRST 5 MINUTES
While waiting for everyone to join, students respond to one spontaneous question (rotating weekly):
Examples:
• What did you do this weekend?
• What will you be doing this upcoming weekend?
• What is your favorite childhood memory?
• What do you like to do in your free time?
All classes include role switching so every student practices every function.
