Have you learned your French grammar and vocabulary but
still don’t feel confident in a French-speaking environment? If you are a
native speaker of English, then French-English Language Exchange Workshops can
help make you fluent.
Make all your language classes pay off - at last!
Pull together everything you have learned, get
effective practice with native speakers and become fluent!
- Understand native speakers.
- Improve your pronunciation and accent.
- Speak with better grammar without having to think about the grammar.
- Speak with native speakers without them switching to English on you.
- Learn everything they didn't teach you in your language classes!
Interact with native speakers in carefully designed
activities that will simulate real and natural conversation. With the help of a
teacher, you will develop the conversation skills you will need in the real
world.
"If a student dared to learn a foreign language by playing and talking intensively, he'd
probably improve a lot faster than in an ordinary classroom."
- Marshall McLuhan, renowned communications theorist

The most effective practice… every time! The
activities are carefully designed to challenge and improve each and every
aspect of your French conversation skills. A qualified teacher will ensure
everyone knows what to do and provide the formal language help you will need.
This means that your practice will be equally effective… every
time!
"Practising in a small group like this will enable me to feel more confident when
the opportunity to speak French in public comes up... I like seeing the language
barriers break. =) Thanks!"

Practice more effectively on your own. In addition to
giving you the best practice, Language Exchange Workshops will train you to be
a more effective language exchange partner. This means that if you ever
practice on your own, you will get more from your practice sessions.
Accessible and convenient! The workshops take place
in an Internet live voice and text “chat room”, allowing you to interact with
native speakers even if none exist in your community. It also allows you to
access Helene Cormier’s unique expertise in facilitating language exchange
workshops even if you don’t live in the same city. This uniquely effective
language-learning opportunity is available to you, no matter where you
live!
"J'étais bien reconnaisant de l'opportunité de converser en français avec quelqu'un
pour qui c'est sa langue maternelle. Comme vous pouvez imaginer, il n'y en a pas
beaucoup dans ma ville."
- Henry Eichel, student of Helene's online workshops - summer 2001
