Chat with Francophiles from anywhere you want

With our online conversation groups, you can speak French from anywhere — whether you live in the bush, on a desert island or on the 73rd floor of a skyscraper! The cool thing about our virtual meetups is that location is no longer a barrier (as long as you’ve got a solid wifi connection 😉).

From the comfort of your home, you'll be able to connect with fellow Francophiles and improve your speaking skills in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere!

Speak French from Down Under

I know that joining international French-speaking groups is tricky because of time zone differences. But with our Zoom group, we’ve made sure to adapt to Australian time zones — so you don’t have to set an alarm for 3am just to join your conversation club! (Although, that could be a great way to test your motivation… 🤣)

By joining our online conversation group, you’ll find a time that fits your schedule — our timetable is made for life Down Under 😉. That way, you can connect with other French learners and focus on what really matters: enjoying the conversation!

Speak and connect with other Francophiles

Whether online or in-person, French speaking meetups will give you the opportunity to build social connections as well! Thanks to these groups, you will finally meet fellow Francophiles — people who share the same love for all things French as you.

No more talking to yourself in the mirror — come chat with real people instead! 😉

Boost your confidence in speaking the world’s most romantic language

Both options also allow you to boost your confidence. By speaking the language of Molière regularly, you get to expand your vocabulary, and improve your fluency.

Joining a French language group is a nice way to start speaking with people who share the same goals and motivations as you! It’s a great first step, and often feels less intimidating than diving straight into a conversation with a native Francophone… Until one day, you feel confident enough to face a Parisian garçon and order your coffee like a pro! (I swear they are not that mean. 😂)

To sum-up, joining a conversation group is a fantastic way to:

• Boost your confidence;

• Improve your French;

• Meet like-minded people who share your love for the language and culture.

Whether online or in-person, you’ll be part of a fun, supportive community — and we can’t wait to welcome you! Don’t hesitate to sign up for a session by sending me an email (be careful — spots are limited 😱), and get ready to see your French skyrocket. 🚀

Bonne journée (ou soirée) et à très vite!
