Learn French While Shopping
Go shopping, speak French, and live like a local.
Practice real-life French in Montpellier’s markets, bakeries, cafés, and local shops—guided one-to-one by your coach, Anne-Elisabeth Chéron.
Bring French to Life—Out in Town
This short, dynamic workshop takes you out of the classroom and into everyday situations. You will learn French while shopping at local markets and city stores, with immediate guidance and feedback.
At the Market
- Greet vendors and make small talk over sun-ripe tomatoes.
- Ask for quantities and prices with confidence.
- Compare products and decide like a local.
At the Bakery
- Order baguettes, croissants, and “une part de tarte”.
- Understand fast, friendly questions at the counter.
- Mind polite forms—bonjour, s’il vous plaît, merci.
In Town
- Shop for everyday items and ask for sizes or colors.
- Handle payment, receipts, and simple returns.
- Follow directions along limestone streets and tram stops.
Over Coffee
- Order like a pro—un café, un crème, or un thé.
- Chat about tastes, plans, and the day’s finds.
- Review expressions while cups softly clink.
