ABOUT THE LAB:
SAY IT WITH MORE NUANCE
Expert is for highly fluent speakers who already have a lot of French and want to keep sharpening it. The conversations move faster, the topics go further, and there’s more room to play with tone, register, argument, and the little choices that make your French feel more precise.
You’ll work with French as it’s actually used: news, interviews, media, slang, cultural debates, and whatever else gives the group something worth talking about. Your teacher will push you when it helps, catch the small habits that are easy to miss, and help you find a more precise, natural, or nuanced way to say what you mean.
You’re not here to “finish” French. You’re here to keep it active, flexible, and sharp enough to handle whatever the conversation throws at you.

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?
