Learn French at Starbucks!

The creator of this innovative approach to conversational French says, "No one can learn to speak French - you must speak to learn."

All human beings learn languages. It's normal and instinctive. It's also a lot of fun when you approach it in a natural way.

And what better place to enjoy becoming bilingual than at Starbucks!

French Over Coffee is an informal course, but it's for real! You will be able to measure your progress, and you will really be able to communicate in French.

French-speaking people don't memorize verb endings and grammatical rules. And you didn't learn English that way either. In French Over Coffee you will build your language skill by taking part in real conversation.

Conversation groups are divided according to proficiency level. You will move ahead comfortably with others who are at the same stage as you are. Each group has no more than six students.

Your registration includes 15 hrs of interactive French, the rich flavours of Starbucks coffee and a bunch of other goodies
