Conversation in Chinese

Beyond the courses, whether individual or collective, the practice of the language remains essential. This is why the Maison des Langues also sets up conversation workshops, in particular for Mandarin, which is somewhat spoken in the streets of Bayonne.

These workshops are moderated by a teacher so that everyone can express themselves freely, at length and on various topics. Immerse yourself in the Chinese language and culture during an intensive hour of practice!

It is however recommended, for the good performance of the workshop, to have acquired level B1 to start the conversation workshops.

General objectives:

  • Develop and improve oral fluency
  • Develop oral comprehension
  • Raising awareness of foreign cultures and contemporary societal issues

Group formula: €30/month, €300 per year (September to June)

I also appreciate the associated services such as happy hours and complementary conversation classes and, of course, the various activities, and aperitifs!, which are an opportunity to discover languages ​​other than those we are learning, and chat with participants from other groups in a friendly atmosphere.

Our pedagogic approach

Drawing on the diverse experiences of the members of our teaching team, at La Maison des Langues, we combine several approaches to get the best out of them and provide a tailor-made solution for each person. Thus, we are talking about a personalized hybrid learning environment.

  • Individual diagnosis (strengths, weaknesses, objectives etc depending on the time available…)
  • Face-to-face, distance or hybrid courses: focused on oral production with a qualified and experienced trainer (reverse class system, reception activities are encouraged outside of attendance time).
  • Distance LearningDevice, in support of face-to-face courses
  • Resource Center: access to paper and digital media during the association's opening hours, with the presence of a qualified person who can guide the trainee in his research/work independently.
  • Individual coaching in addition to semi-group lessons: throughout the training, the trainee benefits from professional advice to enable him to make the most of his free time.

We answer your questions

Our tailor-made courses are suitable for all ages (children, teenagers, students, adults and retirees) and all levels.
