French Conversation
Improve your French and find your voice
You can follow French conversations, but when it’s your turn to respond, the words don’t come out. This program helps you move past that hesitation by empowering you to participate confidently in conversations at work, in daily life or in your community.
Language learning is most effective when it's collaborative and intentional. Through immersive exercises, this program fast-tracks your journey to fluency.
Elevating your learning experience
We've revamped this program to focus on real-life use and ease of expression, helping you overcome conversational anxiety and use French to improve your daily life. These enhancements adhere to the Échelle québécoise, Quebec's framework for French language assessment, and reflect Concordia University's commitment to supporting French language learning.
Registration for the 2025-26 term opens in July.
