Course Program

For morning classes with Aurélia (A2 confirmed to C1): 

No matter what your level, in this lively, comprehensive and interactive course you'll make progress in French thanks to role-playing situations inspired by everyday life or fantasy.

Improvisations, role-playing, written and interpreted dialogues: you'll develop your oral and written fluency by exploring a variety of themes (emotions, social relations...).

Each session alternates between group practice and personalized feedback. You'll work on fluency, diction, rhythm and pronunciation, while reinforcing your grammatical and lexical skills.

Body and vocal exercises (Alexander Technique, relaxation, warm-ups) help you improve your posture, breathing and expressiveness. By reading or acting out texts aloud, you enrich your vocabulary and anchor new language structures.

For afternoon classes with Sylvaine (B1 confirmed to C1):) 

Whatever your level of French, you will learn different language skills:

1. Oral expression and comprehension

2. Written expression and comprehension
   

During a spoken warm-up, you will work by associating gesture with speech including rhythm, intonation and pronunciation, conjugations, fluidity, and diction.

You take part in a moment of exchange based on a precise grammatical difficulty, document, or situation chosen according to your linguistic interest. These improvisations are followed by oral and written corrections. 

You also work on texts read aloud or memorized. Through plays or dialogues, you memorize extracts from these plays and read them aloud to improve your fluency, enrich your vocabulary and assimilate new syntactic forms.

This course is for you

If you want to improve or perfect your French through drama, and become more fluent in spoken French.
