Did you know that a raisin in French is a grape, not a popular cookie ingredient? Or that the verb "rester" means "to stay" and not "to rest"?

This February we are back with our educational workshops for members and we're helping you expand your French vocabulary! Dive into faux amis, or false friends, in part 1 of the workshop where we'll help you avoid usings words that sound like an English word but carry a different meaning in French. Then in part 2 we'll introduce you to a variety of verbs that you can add to your French vocabulary arsenal in 2020. You'll be speaking like a native in no time!

This workshop is taught by Julien Delbasty, and is perfect for intermediate learners (level B1 +) who want to brush up on their vocabulary and practice a new side of the French language.
