Are you interested in practising French conversation? You might like our group. We are a new group (started in early 2023) that meets weekly to talk in French. There are
usually 6 to 12 of us (depending on availability) and the standard is mixed.
When: Every Friday morning from 11:30am-1:00pm.
Where: Kensington Neighbourhood House, 89 McCracken St, Kensington. (We meet in the church hall opposite KNH).
Format: We split into small groups of 2-3 people to talk for about 20 mins on
• a topic of everyday relevance nominated in advance or
• a topic or topics selected by the group itself
After 20 minutes we rotate people into different groups and continue talking.
For the final 15-20 minutes we come together as a single group for a chat about a
topic of general interest nominated in advance.
Atmosphere: Informal and relaxed. There are facilities to make tea or coffee. People can turn up when available. The format is flexible and evolving. The focus is on enjoying the experience of talking in French with like-minded individuals and being relaxed about the challenges of talking a foreign language in public.
Pre-requisites: An intermediate level of French or above, with a good grasp of
grammar and reasonable vocabulary. We communicate as a group via WhatsApp and Email.
