Café+ Q&As
What is Café Plus?

FREE conversation table IN FRENCH for OSU students and interested public. Café + is an inter-level French conversation table sponsored and led by FIGSA (French and Italian Graduate Student Association).

What are Café+ guidelines?

Café + is designed especially for students taking 1000- to 3000-level courses in French, but other students are always welcome.

What is required for participation?

Readiness to engage in conversations IN FRENCH. No necessary minimum level of ability; only an expectation of good-faith participatory efforts.

What is expected of participants?

Ask questions, bring up topics that interest you, let the facilitator know if you need help. We also expect that you will make mistakes when you speak; that’s totally fine! Also, of course, please always treat the facilitator and anyone else present with consideration and RESPECT.

What can participants expect at Café Plus?

Games, jokes, conversation, maybe even making friends – and all IN FRENCH! This is a safe space for you to practice and improve your French. You will not receive a grade or be evaluated; all you have to do is make an honest effort to participate at your level.
