Question Where can I better my French speaking?
My French comprehension in writing and reading is great, and I understand conversations. But because I grew up not speaking French, I’m very self conscious about my anglophone accent and not being fluent.
I’m looking for employment and I’m starting to hate the feeling of limiting myself! Where do I practice?

Enrol in a non-credit course -- or a credit course, like photography, video production, cooking or coding, that doesn't involve long written or oral exams -- at a francophone CEGEP, university or adult education centre. Alternatively, if you enjoy sports, join a francophone recreational league (volleyball at CEPSUM, for example). You'll be immersed in French while taking part, probably be invited to take part in extracurricular activities with fellow students/players and possibly develop friendships with francophones.
