Conversation sessions
Boost your communication skills in French or English!
Three fun ways to practice your conversation skills:
- Small-group practice: Come by for Talk Times (English) or Jazz Ons (French) and practice in a relaxed, social small-group setting.
- One-on-one practice: Prefer personal attention? Book a private 55-minute French or English conversation session. Select the topics of your choice or even get help with your second-language coursework!
- Quick drop-ins: Can’t make a group session or find an appointment? No worries; just stop by during drop-in hours for a 25-minute conversation boost.
Conversation groups begin the third week of the fall and winter terms. There are no summer conversation groups.
