Practice
What we believe in
A good practice is one that:
- keeps you engaged,
- stimulates and cheers you up making you want to come back regularly,
- challenges you enough, leaving you to feel empowered at the end of each session.
Practice makes perfect, but not all practice are equal.
The facilitator's skills, personality and capacity to create and host curated activities for your group is key.
They are either qualified and professional teachers with a Master degree specialized in teaching French as a second language to adults, or a French facilitator who has been trained to navigate the special needs of French learners in our Ottawa Region.
To progress you need:
- a safe and kind environment,
- engaging discussions to keep you motivated,
- real-life situations to make it authentic,
- the support of same-level teammates,
- regularity in your practice
What we offer
Various conversation workshops, all offered in person, in small groups and organized:
- per level: The Hatching Club, All you can B and C how good you are
- per interest: The Book Club, The Social Catch up
+ a WhatsApp group: each group has its own and the only language used is French. Here you go: your adult size real life pen-pals!
You can :
- choose to attend any of the workshops you'd like, as long as your level of French agrees,
- book directly online or on our mobile app,
- mix your workshops! E.g: you're a regular C how good you are? Why not trying a Social Catch up or a Book Club?
- bring a francophone +1 in Social Catch up to start merging your French with your regular life!
- book each session separately, with a package, or with a membership!
