A Closer Look at CILFA’s Free Workshops

Starting in October, CILFA’s free workshops are back! Come check out our phonetics and conversation sessions!

Every year, from October through June, in addition to French language courses and DELF preparation courses, CILFA offers its students free workshops to help them practice phonetics and conversation.

The Phonetics Workshop

On Tuesday afternoons, a CILFA instructor leads phonetics sessions for up to 14 people. Each session focuses on one or more challenging sounds in the French language and aims to help students better hear and produce them through appropriate exercises. The instructor then typically offers students a more personalized session on a computer, providing them with tailored advice.

The Conversation Workshop

Conversation sessions are offered on Thursday afternoons, alternating between Levels A and B from one week to the next. Based on a topic chosen by the teacher, students have the opportunity to practice speaking in small groups and/or as a whole class. This practice allows them to apply what they’ve learned in class and feel more comfortable with the French language.
