The language facilitators at the Café de Paris are passionate professionals who specialize in leading interactive workshops to help improve French language skills, especially in a medical context. Their role is to support participants in learning spoken French through real-life scenarios, role-playing, and exercises tailored to the healthcare sector.

They design and adapt educational materials (such as vocabulary sheets, conversation guides, etc.) to meet the specific needs of learners, while incorporating vocabulary and realities from the medical field. The facilitators regularly assess each participant’s progress and provide personalized support to help everyone succeed.

In addition to their language expertise, they promote Francophone culture and encourage cultural curiosity, creating a dynamic, inclusive, and welcoming learning environment. Their approach is based on attentive listening, empathy, and collaboration, ensuring a rewarding and personalized experience for each participant.

The facilitators at the Café de Paris have strong backgrounds in teaching or linguistics, excellent command of both French and English, and experience leading adult groups. Their commitment: to support you with professionalism, flexibility, and enthusiasm as you learn French in a healthcare setting.

The facilitators were phenomenal, reliable and non-judgmental in testing language skills.”
