A brief description of a typical meeting:

We meet in my home on the second Friday of every month from 13.30 to 15.30, to chat together in French over coffee and a biscuit, sometimes cake, and maybe something special at Christmas.

This group is primarily for 'early learners' - that is, those who have yet to gain significant competence, and we support and help each other to feel confident and comfortable in using this language to the best of our abilities, whatever they may be. 

Each month we have a topic like travel, music, art, literature in order to generate conversation. Also we introduce ourselves and talk a little about how we have come to enjoy using the French language. 

This is a delightful way to enjoy the French language together, in a relaxed setting over coffee. Do hope you will join us.
