In my English courses with CPF (online, in-company, or in Vincennes), speaking is at the heart of my method. The more you speak, the more confidence you gain — and the faster you progress.
That’s why I’m happy to announce a new addition: a partnership with TalkAbroad, a platform that connects learners with conversation partners living all over the world.
What does this change for you?
If you are currently taking one of my English courses in Vincennes or online, or if you have already studied with me, you can now book online conversations with people trained in language exchange, directly via TalkAbroad.
These are not lessons: the goal is simply to talk, exchange ideas, and try out what you’ve learned, in a friendly and supportive environment.
You can choose your time slots according to your availability.
I can help you prepare your topics in advance, and even debrief your exchanges during our lessons.

Who is it for?
Good news: everyone can take part!
Whether you are following an English course in Vincennes with CPF, using one of my e-learning programs, or you’re a former student, you can benefit from TalkAbroad.
Just contact me:
We’ll arrange a meeting so I can show you the website and how it works.
Rates:
€15 for 1 conversation (30 minutes)
€40 for 3 conversations
€50 for 5 conversations
And it’s not just for English
Even if you’re taking private English lessons with me, you can also use TalkAbroad to practise other languages: Arabic, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, and Mandarin.It’s perfect for broadening your language skills or preparing for a trip.
And for new courses
From September 2025, if you start an English course with CPF in Vincennes or online, you will automatically have 3 conversations of 30 minutes per sub-level included in your program.
Why it’s useful
Speaking with different people helps you to:
practise in a more spontaneous context
hear and understand different accents
better handle unexpected moments in conversation
apply what we’ve been working on together
It’s a simple, motivating, and realistic way to strengthen your fluency — even outside our lessons.
And if you’re a former student…
Even if you’ve finished your course with me, you can still use TalkAbroad as an occasional boost to maintain your level, keep your fluency, and stay connected to the language.
🎯 In short
My role is still to guide you, prepare you, and help you analyse these exchanges. TalkAbroad is simply another tool to multiply your opportunities to speak… and to make progress.
