The French Conversation Group meets twice a month on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at 2.30pm in the Oak Room at the Community Centre.

Members help each other with developing the spoken language and take turns in deciding on the topic to be discussed.

Some previous knowledge of French is useful as we currently don't have a tutor. Meetings focus on the spoken language and can include a warm-up activity, language games/grammar, plus a pre-arranged discussion on a specific topic. We also use CD's from the language magazine "Bien Dire" to help with listening/speaking activities.

The cost of the room hire is shared between members and paid in advance,  the cost works out at around £2 per person per session. Refreshments (tea/coffee) are available during the meeting for the small sum of £1.20 per person. Participants need to join u3a to attend regular meetings.
