Upper Intermediate Level 

Be able to interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.

Conversation

Prerequisites: Upper Intermediate Level

Improve your conversational French and keep it ’alive’ . We will be using different media: newspapers, magazines, newsreels, videos, films, etc, and you will be able to participate in stimulating exchange of opinions about everything French or related to the ‘Francophonie’ and also about any subject matter you wish to debate. 

Note: In this course the teacher is more a 'facilitator' allowing conversation to flow as naturally as possible.
