This is a one-week immersive course designed to help you speak more confidently, not just review grammar. We will spend a short amount of time each day reviewing a key structure, but the goal is to use it in conversation. As much as possible, we will stay in French.

Each session is built around a cultural topic: film, art, music, and literature. These will give you a way to express your ideas, react to others, and speak more naturally and clearly. By the end of the week, you will feel more comfortable discussing and presenting your ideas in French, not just understanding them.

This course is built to help you speak, interact, and express your ideas with confidence in real conversations.

I am interested!

Who It’s For

This course is designed for students who are willing to stay engaged throughout the week. Short preparation or follow-up activities will be assigned to help you get the most out of each session.

Week 1: A2 (intermediate)

  • You can hold basic conversations

  • You want to feel more comfortable speaking

Week 2: B1 (upper-intermediate/Advanced)

  • You can express ideas and opinions but want more precision

  • You want to discuss topics more naturally

Not sure about your level? You can reach out.

What You Will Do

  • Speak every day in a structured environment

  • Practice expressing, defending and presenting your ideas

  • Work with real cultural topics (film, art, fashion, literature)

  • Interact in a small group where everyone participates

Because the group is small, everyone speaks in every session. This creates a level of practice that is difficult to achieve in larger classes and allows you to make noticeable progress in a short time. At the same time, a class allows you to interact with others, practice more speaking, and develop conversational skills in a structured group setting.

Have questions? Feel free to reach out.
