Who is this for?

Our 60-minute group course is designed to help you speak confidently in French on any topic! Our Club de Conversation is for learners of levels A2 and higher, who already have a solid base of French grammar and vocabulary but don’t have many opportunities to use it in real life.

Why joining our club?

Living in French-speaking countries requires more than basic grammar skills. Being able to discuss, debate, and interact with other people in French will help you get better accustomed to your new country’s everyday life challenges. We provide risk-free scenarios where you’ll interact with other people facing the same challenges as you! Our SuperProfs will serve as moderators and will help polish your participation in a safe, friendly environment.

The Prêt à Parler Method

Each week, before class, participants will be given a different topic to explore in session. This topic will come with a set of instructions that will help you prepare for your participation in class. It will also contain any grammar, vocabulary, and expression that might be useful for the session. Activities such as round tables, presentations, debates, and others will also be offered in class.

Commitment: Your Best Motivator!

Like any learning session, students are encouraged to actively participate in class to make sessions as exciting and rich as possible. Conversation is an art that invites everybody to share a bit of themselves!

Testimonials

Super Prof Brice was a good facilitator, letting the students express themselves as much as possible and only intervening to provide vocabulary and ideas to keep the conversations going. The formula developed by Prêt à Parler for Club de Conversation was very effective and fun!

- Tuan Do

Club de Conversation was really enjoyable! I enjoyed the lessons and the teacher's energy. My head explodes with all the grammar rules and writing so finding a group lesson that suits my needs and at my level was a godsend. The group was easy to talk to, and the prof was approachable, helpful, and motivating. The times and dates were suitable as well for work!

- Sushma Cherion

I initially had no idea what to expect but the way Super Prof Brice handles the group lessons works well for me. This kind of group lesson is exactly what I need. Un grand merci!

- Starr Benyon

I get enough time to speak during the group lesson which is great! The speed is just perfect and I find the group lessons interesting so far.
