Conversations françaises

A series in 7 episodes

FALL 2025

Based on popular demand, the French section is launching a second season of Conversations françaises!

The goal of this event is to create a relaxed, welcoming space where students can practice speaking French without fear of making mistakes. All levels are welcome, and the focus is on communication and community.

The concept of Conversations françaises is as follows: students partner by level of French proficiency, set a timer for 10-15 minutes and speak only French; then students share their experience in a group discussion. Students switch partners for the second and third rounds. The organizers will offer some conversation prompts (in French, of course) for the students to use in case the conversation lulls.

Students that attend 6-7 sessions of Conversations françaises will receive a certificate that demonstrates their dedication to improve their spoken and conversational French.

Dates of sessions for Fall 2025 to be announced
