How Does the Market Stall Project Work?
This isn’t just a language exercise—it’s a true immersion experience. You’ll create and present your own market stall, just like traders in a bustling French marché. From choosing what to sell to interacting with customers (aka Ellie!), you’ll experience the rhythm and spontaneity of real French conversation.
Here’s what you’ll do:
✅ Decide what you’ll sell on your stall and research the vocabulary and expressions you’ll need
✅ Engage in discussions in The French Room Chat to refine your ideas and build fluency
✅ Join student-led Zoom sessions to practice selling, describing your products and interacting naturally
✅ Showcase your stall on Market Day, when Ellie will visit your stall as a customer—no scripts, just real conversation.
This is a unique opportunity to step out of traditional learning and into real communication, all in a supportive and structured environment.
