Writing Workshop

A calm way to let French come out

You understand French.
You read it.
You listen to it.
You know a lot more than you think.

And yet, when it’s time to speak, something tightens.

You search for words.
You hesitate.
You freeze.

Conversation classes feel uncomfortable.
Speaking on the spot feels exposed.
The topics don’t always feel like yours.

This workshop was created for that moment.

Writing before speaking

In this workshop, we don’t start by talking.
We start by writing.

Writing gives you time.
It lets ideas settle.
It helps sentences take shape.

The text becomes a support.
Speaking becomes optional — never forced.

You are allowed to stay silent.
You are allowed to listen.
You are allowed to take your time.

This is not about performance.
It’s about feeling safe enough for French to emerge.

How the workshop works

The workshop takes place online, in a small group.

During the session:

• you receive a guided writing prompt,
• you write quietly for a short time,
• sharing is optional,
• listening is part of the practice.

There is no correction in the school sense.
No evaluation.
No pressure.

Just a clear structure that makes French usable.

Who this workshop is for

This workshop is for you if:

• you are an adult learner (B1–B2),
• you understand French but struggle to use it freely,
• you don’t enjoy classic conversation classes,
• you need structure without pressure,
• you prefer depth over speed.

If you like to think before you speak, you are in the right place.

What this practice brings

With time, participants often notice:

• clearer ideas,
• more confidence,
• sentences that come more easily,
• a calmer relationship with French,
• renewed pleasure in using the language.

Nothing spectacular.
Nothing forced.

Just regular, meaningful contact with French.
