We meet weekly in members’ homes to practise our French through conversation, reading and vocabulary building activities. Using online learning resources and materials from the French media, we explore topics related to French culture and society, as well as world news and current affairs. Sometimes we read poems, plays and short stories. The level is intermediate (generally post-GCSE/O-level). The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with lively discussion and plenty of fun.
Thursday 10 to 11.30 – Maximum number: 8. We now have 8 members, but if you are interested in joining the group, we can put your name on a waiting list.
