Samuel is from Cergy, a city in the suburbs of Paris. He grew up in a multicultural household, with his mother from the United States and his father from Benin, speaking both French and English at home. After a couple of years at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, he decided in 2022 to embark on a new adventure in New York City and pursue acting.

ABOUT THE LAB:

BRING MORE PRECISION AND NUANCE
INTO CONVERSATION

Level 5 Conversation Labs are where you practice using the advanced structures covered in Level 5 Signature Class: the subjunctive, relative pronouns, time expressions, and more complex sentences. Labs don’t introduce new grammar. They give you the space to make those structures part of how you actually speak.

Every Lab is built around a real-life or cultural theme, from social situations and everyday dilemmas to opinions, culture, and bigger debates. You’ll warm up with the topic, revisit a relevant grammar point, then put it to work through discussion, debate, argumentation, and guided speaking activities.

Best for students who have completed, or are close to completing, Level 5 Signature Class. If you’re just starting Level 5 Signature, keep practicing in Level 4 Conversation Labs for now, then move up once you’ve covered more of the Level 5 grammar.

INSIDE THE LAB

WHAT YOU’LL GET OUT OF IT

  • Using the present and past subjunctive in conversation
  • Expressing doubt, emotion, necessity, judgment, and point of view
  • Connecting ideas with relative pronouns and longer sentence structures
  • Using time expressions with more precision
  • Defending an opinion, qualifying what you mean, and developing more complex ideas without losing the flow of the conversation

Loving my teacher, my classmates and the lack of pressure and judgement!

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.
