Meetings

Time and date: every Friday, 4pm — 7pm.

Venue: Bapz, Salon de Thé

Cost: Pay for your own food and drinks.

Coming? Just come along whenever you want, there's no need to sign up for meetings

Who is the group for?

Anyone who is fluent in English who wants to practice their 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.

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.

How to find the group

We sit at the really big table nearest to the cakes and the cashier. If you're not sure, listen out for English speakers, or ask venue staff for English in Toulouse.
