communication.<\/p><p data-start=\"7571\" data-end=\"7593\">The concept is simple: What you learn during your French lesson in the morning, you practice in real-life situations in the afternoon. And what you hear in caf\u00e9s, markets, or daily conversations can later be analyzed and improved during your next class.<\/p><p data-start=\"7827\" data-end=\"7966\">This continuous loop between
