  Friday Online French - English Conversation Group

  There is no better way to practice your foreign language than by conversing with native speakers, and WICE can help you do just that.

  We meet online (Zoom) every Friday. Participants are divided into small groups of 5-6 members. We converse 45 minutes in French and 45 minutes in English. Conversations are free-form and address topics of interest to the individual group members.

  The group is open to WICE members at all language levels. However, to get the most out of the conversations, an intermediate level in both languages is helpful. 

  Participation is free for WICE members.

  To participate, contact Mike Franks at: mike.franks@wice-paris.org.

  Tuesday In-Person French - English Conversation Group

  

  Looking for a relaxed and welcoming place to practice and improve your French or English? WICE conversation groups allow you to practice your language skills in an easy, convivial atmosphere with native speakers.

  The summer Tuesday group meets outdoors from 15:00 - 16:30 in the Luxembourg Gardens near the bee hives just inside the rue d'Assas entrance (see map, click to enlarge). In the event of inclement weather, the group meets at café Le Guyneme, 78 Rue d'Assas, which is directly across from the rue d'Assas entrance.

  Participants are divided into small groups of 5 - 6 people, and the conversations are 45 minutes in French and 45 minutes in English. The subjects are of  the group’s choosing. Though an intermediate level of English and French is expected, there is a wide range of abilities.
  

  There is no need to register, but if it is your first time to participate in person in Tuesday's group, please contact Christian Paolasso at c.paolas@laposte.net (primary) and him know you are planning to come.
