This course is designed for learners who have an intermediate level of French who would like to focus purely on developing confidence and fluency in spoken communication rather than reading and writing. Through interactive activities such as guided discussions and role-plays, you will practise speaking about everyday topics, expanding vocabulary, improving pronunciation and building more natural French speech in a relaxed and encouraging environment. You will also explore cultural aspects of the French-speaking world while developing practical strategies to understand others, keep conversations going, and express yourself more easily in common everyday situations. Suitable for learners who have at least 350 hours of prior study.
