Cafe Conversation is a great way to practice, improve and/or help you feel more comfortable speaking French with friendly francophones and francophiles.
Enjoy coffee and pastries, meet and chat with fellow members for the first half hour or so — en francais — and then tackle the subject of the day.
An article in French (often with a side-by-side English translation) is read out loud en francais. The article will then be used to spark the conversation.
All levels of French are welcome.
