When Stress Hits, French Disappears… Yet They Spoke, and It Was Beautiful
“When I’m stressed, I lose all my French.”
That’s what Hannah told me.
And yet, she and all the girls at the Conversation Café, took the microphone and spoke in French during an interview with a journalist who came to meet them.
And it was amazing.
There was noise around us, people passing by, the usual café atmosphere… but they still shared their stories: their arrival in France, their daily experiences, and the moments we share together at the Conversation Café.
This is exactly why we meet every month: to unblock their French, to help them feel confident, and to dare to speak, no matter the accent, the mistakes, or the stress.
A huge thank you to the girls, and thank you to Ici Limousin for shining a light on a moment that means so much to me.
If you can’t join the Conversation Café in person, no worries.
Keep an eye on the newsletter: the “Third Half Women Speak French” is coming online soon.
No travelling, no stress, no obligation—just a free online session to practise French in a group, learn useful tips, and leave with essential everyday expressions.
