Would anyone be interested in a 2-day weekend course on spoken Québec French, offered in Montréal?
The content would be based on my book.
One possible date would be last weekend in December, but it's too early to say yet. I'm just trying to
determine if there'd be interest at this point. Open to any other suggestions (including location, price,
etc.).
EDIT: The book is written entirely in French, and the course would likely be taught in French as well, so
participants have to at least be comfortable in a French-speaking setting, say B2 or more. At this point, I'm
unsure if participants would all be non-francophones or if some French speakers would also participate.

I'm partial to Parisian French myself, but might I suggest that you list the language level which will be covered in the course?

I will be there in December and would certainly attend if the price was reasonable (pas dispendieux :).
I am sure I could also find a few others from the weekly meetup group.
The last weekend in Dec might be busy for a lot of people, during the holidays. I think even the meetup will
suspend meeting during this time.

I wonder what people would consider affordable (pas trop dispendieux ;)...
I know the last weekend in December is busy, but that's when I can do it. I'd hope to find about 10-12
participants.

I was wondering, have you considered writing a course for Quebec French with an English base, much in a similar way to how you can get different courses for European and Brazilian Portuguese and Peninsula and Latin American Spanish?
As far as I'm aware there is currently no course on the market that teaches primarily Quebec French, at least not with an English base anyway.
