French employees of Eurostar have been helping kids from three London schools with conversational French during the lockdown:

Dozens of French-speaking Eurostar employees are supporting language students while being furloughed due to the collapse in demand for international travel.
Workers normally carrying out roles as train drivers or in customer service, marketing, operations and finance are among those hosting online sessions for pupils during school closures.

The scheme is aimed at improving students’ confidence in French conversation and maintaining their skills while they study at home.
The participants are from three schools close to Eurostar’s north-east London depot and its London station, St Pancras International.

David Dogue, a French teacher at Sir George Monoux College, Walthamstow, said: “This project with Eurostar has enabled my A-level students to develop their language skills in a rewarding way by joining conversations with native French speakers.

“The opportunity to speak with someone from outside the school helps boost their confidence whilst they are dealing with the challenges of having to study from home.”
