Atelier de conversation – Level 1

Je voudrais exprimer mes remerciements à M. George pour avoir conduit un atelier de conversation aussi intéressant. Je suis très heureuse de m'y être inscrit. L'atelier m'a non seulement donné l'occasion d'entrer en contact avec mes compétences en conversation, mais aussi de rencontrer des personnes très enthousiastes pour la langue française. C'était une expérience vraiment motivante. Je voudrais même remercier Indo French Hub et Bijal pour cette opportunité.

Out of practice of speaking an advanced level of French and due to absence of francophones, I was losing interest in speaking/listening/reading the language. Thanks to this Atelier, I was able to regain interest and enthusiasm for French. During the Atelier, we were introduced to quite a few nuances of the advanced level of language and brushed up on the forgotten vocabulary. The small working group of participants was equally encouraging. Mr Riaan George has a knack for choosing topics that will make the participants want to communicate their opinions and thoughts. Furthermore, he gives equal attention and opportunities to each participant.

I liked the way M. Riaan made it a point that everyone must speak. Also in defining some new words, he didn't directly give the English equivalent...unless required. Instead, he explained in French, until we got the exact sense of the word/ phrase. He was also quite patient with us students. It was a great experience. I have certainly gained from this Atelier. Thanks to M. Riian & Bijal for giving us this opportunity.
