Develop your ability to communicate in greater depth
Build on the French you already know and develop the skills to take part in longer, richer, and more varied conversations. Through varied topics, real-life scenarios, and a wide range of content, you’ll learn to describe in greater detail, tell stories, compare and explain, express your reactions and opinions, and respond to what others have to say.
The goal is not simply to speak more, but to expand what you can communicate about and how effectively you can express yourself. As you progress, you’ll develop the range, flexibility, and independence you need to participate more fully in conversations in French.
How it works
How it works
The Conversation Program is organized around a variety of themes and real-life scenarios, each designed to develop specific communication skills. You’ll explore different types of content, notice how French is used to express ideas and interact with others, and practice applying those skills in conversations of your own.
Activities move from guided practice toward increasingly independent communication, giving you the support you need as you develop new skills. Throughout the program, you’ll revisit and build on what you have already learned, using familiar language in new contexts and expanding what you can do with it.
What you'll be able to do
What you'll be able to do
As you progress through the Conversation Program, you’ll develop your ability to communicate about a wider range of topics and participate in more substantial conversations. You’ll learn to:
describe people, places, situations, and experiences in greater detail
tell stories and relate events in a clear and organized way
compare ideas, experiences, and possibilities
explain information and give detailed directions or instructions
express your opinions, reactions, and emotions and respond to those of others
navigate everyday problems and discuss possible solutions
ask questions, follow up, and help keep a conversation going
adapt and clarify what you want to say when communication becomes difficult
As these skills develop, you’ll be able to move beyond short exchanges and communicate with greater detail, flexibility, and independence.
Who is this program for?
Who is this program for?
The Conversation Program is a good fit if you:
already have a foundation in French and can communicate about familiar topics
can understand and produce basic French but want to express yourself in greater detail
want to move beyond simple questions and answers and take part in more substantial conversations
want to expand the range of topics and situations you can discuss
want to become more flexible and independent when communicating in French
You don’t need to speak French fluently or have mastered everything you have previously studied. During your consultation, we’ll look at what you can already do in French and determine whether the Conversation Program is the right starting point for you.
A structured but flexible approach
A structured but flexible approach
The Conversation Program follows a clear progression, with each unit developing communication skills that are revisited and expanded throughout the course. At the same time, every learner brings different strengths, experiences, challenges, and goals to their French.
Your lessons can adapt to what you need along the way. We can spend more time developing a skill that needs additional practice, revisit language that is limiting your ability to express yourself, or provide more support as you work toward greater independence. Your individual goals can also shape some of the topics, activities, and skills we emphasize or add to the program. There is room to follow the questions, ideas, and conversations that naturally emerge from the topics we explore.
The structure keeps your learning purposeful and moving forward, while the flexibility allows us to respond to the way you communicate, what you want to accomplish, and the areas where you most need to grow.
What happens next

As you progress through the Conversation Program, you’ll become able to communicate with greater detail, flexibility, and independence across a wider range of topics and situations. The skills you develop provide the foundation for increasingly complex and nuanced communication in French.
Your progress doesn’t end with this program. As your abilities grow, you can continue developing the skills needed to discuss more complex topics, express and support your ideas more fully, and communicate with greater precision and spontaneity.
