OUR COMMUNITY
Are you looking to meet like-minded people who share your passion for Francophone culture?
At Cōzette, we have created a French-speaking community by providing students with opportunities to practice French outside of the classroom. Whether held in our beautiful studio, at venues in the Twin Cities area, or online, our goal is for students to use their French skills in laid-back social settings.
From wine and cheese tastings to the art of crêpe making for a festive Chandeleur, our events are sure to delight. In addition, online and in-person workshops dive deeper into grammatical features and explore Francophone cultural topics. Our casual apéros are also the perfect excuse to connect in French after a busy work week.
