Practising your French in London
Friday, 18th December 2009
Anyone learning French in London is spoilt for choice when it comes to ways to practise and enhance their language skills outside of lessons.
As one of the most multicultural cities in the world, London is home to many native French speakers and many people who appreciate the French language and culture.
This, in turn, guarantees the existence of many events and exhibitions for Francophiles that can be hugely beneficial for anyone learning the French language.
As always, the internet is an excellent source of information when it comes to finding out about them, and the following are some of the most comprehensive and useful sites around:
1. Institut Français
This website is a great source of information about events that are held by, or in conjunction with, the renowned Insitut Francais, including film screenings, wine tasting events and talks.
2. French Meetup
French Meetup’s website offers language learners and speakers a simple way to connect and get together in London, and in fact all around the world.
3. France in London
This useful site offers a comprehensive guide to French exhibitions, films, concerts and the like in the London area. It also offers interesting features on French news and culture.
4. Gumtree
Gumtree’s ‘skills and language swap’ section provides a great way for language learners to meet native speakers and practise what they have learnt.
