🔵⚪🔴 French Conversation Workshop: Discover and Learn French Idioms Through Illustrations

Did you know that in France, when rain falls heavily, it is not “raining cats and dogs” but “it’s raining ropes”?!
Idiomatic expressions are windows into a culture. They reveal a country’s history, humour and ways of thinking, and offer a deeper understanding of everyday life.
During this private workshop hosted by me, you will learn French expressions through original illustrations I created especially for this experience.
