The WICE Blog

Think of all the ways we communicate to one another and to ourselves. Isn't it a marvel that we're driven to express and share?! Whether it's building our foreign language skills, developing our writing, or taking part in visual arts, there's so many creative ways to exchange ideas, create friendships, and learn – what a pleasure it is to that together. 

Check out this month's course calendar and take part! Get in touch with your creative side or test your French skills in viewing French cinema – or deep dive into our language courses! We'd love to see and meet you online or in-person.

Learning a new language can be extremely rewarding and opens your mind and world up to so many possibilities. Say “Bonjour” to learning within our supportive environment at WICE!  Sure, language learning is challenging, but when you're surrounded by a supportive and knowledgeable community, it can also be quite fun!

At WICE, we offer various ways to keep you motivated through our regular courses, guided discussions, as well as conversation exchange and cultural activities. For more information on our French and English on-going classes, view our language course calendar here >

Flowers and chocolates are very nice indeed – and I for one have a soft spot for both! That said, I also have a place in my heart for learning new ideas and developing skills. It’s so rewarding and fun to see where exploration takes us. 

Right now WICE has so many new creative courses that are sure to fire up your artistic side. From video and photography skills with your phone to jewelry making and of course, creative writing.

And so, a new year has begun!

Have we been sticking to our intentions and resolutions thus far? Perhaps you're just getting into new habits (ahem, like me). Of course, now is a great time to start a new language or learn a new skill.

From learning to podcast, knitting, or jewelry making, WICE has so many new course offerings alongside our celebrated bilingual book club and language courses. Take a gander out our course calendar, which offers many classes online. Whether you're in Paris or abroad, we'd love to see you in the new year.
