French Fridays
French and English conversation every Friday!
Join us every Friday from 6pm till late for French and English conversation.
Le Delicatessen is our venue. It's a tapas bar close to La Halle aux Grains.
Time and date: every Friday, 6pm — late
Venue: Le Delicatessen
Cost: The group is free, but to ensure a good relationship with the venue, you must buy at least one drink an hour and you must pay at the time of ordering.
Coming? Pop in whenever and at whatever time suits you. There is no need to sign up for meetings.
Who is the group for?
Anyone who is fluent in English and wants to practice speaking French. The aim of the group is to meet people for conversation in French and English in a relaxed environment. There's no set topic -- it's like meeting up with a big group of friends for a chat over a few beers.
How does it work?
The idea is to speak for half of the time in French and half of the time in English, thus making the meeting like a language exchange. You can chat to the person beside you, in front of you etc or get up and move around the table to speak to whomever you want.
Important: language level
A lot of our members are bilingual or at least fluent in both French and English. Please bear this in mind before coming, as the language level is high.

Host
Narelle — your friendly English in Toulouse founder, is usually there to host the group, however sometimes can't make it. You can still find the group though, just listen out for a large group of English speakers or ask the bar staff.
The party continues all night
Did you know that our Friday sessions usually continue for most of the night? Most weeks we get tapas and stay until closing, but often we move on at around 9pm and go for a curry at a nearby Indian restaurant, go to another bar or sometimes we even go dancing!
Though every week is different, we always start at Le Delicatessen.
Where will we go and what will we do next time? Come along to Le Delicatessen by 9pm to find out.
