ABOUT THE LAB:
TURN THE PAST TENSE INTO REAL CONVERSATION
Level 3 Conversation Labs are where you practice using the past-tense system covered in Level 3 Signature Class: passé composé, imparfait, plus-que-parfait, and object pronouns. Labs don’t introduce new grammar. They give you the space to use it in conversation.
Every Lab is built around a real-life or cultural theme, from travel and everyday life to cinema, food, and French culture. You’ll warm up with the topic, revisit a relevant grammar point, then put it to work through conversation, role-play, debates, and storytelling.
Best for students who have completed, or are close to completing, Level 3 Signature Class. If you’re just starting Level 3 Signature, keep practicing in Level 2 Conversation Labs for now, then move up once you’ve covered more of the Level 3 grammar.
INSIDE THE LAB
WHAT YOU’LL GET OUT OF IT

- Choosing between passé composé and imparfait as you speak
- Using the plus-que-parfait to keep a story’s timeline clear
- Using object pronouns without losing the flow of the sentence
- Speaking at greater length without mentally building every sentence first

FAQs
What if I miss a Lab?
Conversation Labs don't include make-up classes or recordings. Each Lab is a live conversation, so there's no catch-up version. If you know in advance you can't make a session, ask us to move it at least seven days before and we'll return the credit so you can book another date. Inside seven days, the session can't be moved.
Can I change my Lab?
Yes, up to seven days before the session. Contact us and we'll provide a credit so you can book a new session. Inside seven days, the session can't be changed.
Why is there a 3-Lab minimum?
Conversation gets easier with repetition, so if you’re booking without Lab credits, we ask you to choose at least 3 Labs. Most students take 5–10 Labs between Signature levels to keep practicing what they’re learning and get more comfortable speaking. Mix dates, teachers, and levels however you like.
Have a Lab package? You can use your credits one at a time.
Do I need to buy a Package to get Package pricing?
No. If you’re adding Labs individually, once your cart reaches 5, 10, or 25 Labs, we’ll automatically apply the matching package price at checkout.
You can also buy a Lab package upfront and use your credits one at a time.
When do my Lab credits expire?
From the date you buy them: 10 weeks for a 5-Lab package, 20 weeks for 10 Labs, 50 weeks for 25 Labs. Unused credits expire at the end of that window.
How do I know which level to book?
