Bonjour, et bienvenue! Come practice your French conversation skills with us in this ongoing club.

This conversation club is geared towards INTERMEDIATE French students, who will generally have had at least a year of French experience and who should be able to independently: introduce themselves, talk about the weather, count (1-100), talk about size and color, talk about likes and dislikes, be confident talking about weather, seasons, days of the week, and months of the year, ask questions independently using "Est-ce que..." and "Qu'est-ce que...", and respond to the question "Pourquoi?" (Why?) with "Parce que..." (Because...). Students will practice both asking and answering questions. I will model full sentences for them to gain confidence expressing themselves and provide error correction in a positive way as needed. If you have questions on whether or not this group is appropriate for your learner's level, don't hesitate to send me a message.

The courses will be 95% immersion-based (barring any necessary tech support or classroom commands). To enhance our discussions, I often make use of learning materials such as slides, GIFs, gestures, and props.

Each club’s meeting will be structured with a particular conversation theme focusing on useful vocabulary or grammar patterns.

This club is in French. The courses will be an interactive mix of teacher presentation through the use of learning materials such as slides, GIFs, and realia and student conversation. Students will be encouraged to ask and answer questions about the themes discussed, and will be invited to compare and contrast them to the cultures, landmarks and traditions of their home countries. At the end of each class, students will receive a sheet with an overview of what we learned and talked about.

**Class/Club Reminders:**

- All students must turn on their video at minimum once at the beginning of class so that I can verify their identity.
- I follow Outschool’s attendance / refund policy for ongoing classes.
- I will handle enrollment minimums on a case-by-case basis. In the event that there are fewer than two learners enrolled, if I have to cancel, I will be sure to let you know 24 hours in advance.
- Parents will want to be sure their children know how to mute and unmute themselves on Zoom, and manage the different view options.
- I encourage students to stay hydrated if needed and have no problem with them drinking water or juice during class… however, I ask that they wait until after class to eat their snacks! :)
