Want sharper listening, cleaner spelling, and faster grammar recall?

Join our free French Dictation Workshop every Tuesday evening.

In 75 focused minutes, you’ll train your ear on authentic French while writing what you hear — the classic “dictée,” redesigned for modern learners.

French Dictation Workshop — Free & Open to All
Date: Tuesdays, Sept 30 – Nov 18, 2025
Time: 5:00–6:15 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

• Materials provided on screen; bring paper/pen or open a blank document but try to not use any type of auto-correct options.
• Group Size: Unlimited.
• Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5456313643
• Password: galaxy
• It's always the same passcode for all events.

Note: If you are a native French speaker, we kindly ask you not to attend; our focus is assisting learners.
