Caffe Leopold Porte de Namur: French 🇨🇵 practice session+friendly conversation
Location not specified yetJoin us this Sunday at Porte de Namur for our usual social Meetup 🤗, with a new optional format for anyone who would like to practice French in a relaxed and friendly environment 🇫🇷
Thanks to Romane, a freelance French teacher based in Brussels, we’ll have the chance to turn part of the Meetup into a fun French practice session 🎲🗣️ She will guide us through games, conversation activities, and practical exercises to help us become more confident speaking French.
The idea is to create a playful and supportive space where people can practice, make mistakes without pressure, and receive helpful feedback 😊
Everyone who wants to improve their French is welcome, no matter the level. Experienced French speakers and native French speakers are also very welcome to join and support the activities 🙌
For those who are not interested in the French practice session, no worries at all — we’ll arrange a separate table so you can still enjoy the usual Meetup atmosphere ☕✨
Please RSVP if you would like to join, so we can organize the space and help Romane prepare the activities properly.
Please join the WhatsApp group below and vote in the pinned poll if you intend to participate in the French practice session 🇫🇷
This will help us understand how many people are interested, organize the space properly, and allow Romane to prepare the activities in the best way.
Note:
After the Meetup at Bar Leopold, those who want can join us for lunch at Ratz, which is close by 🍽️.Later in the afternoon, at 16:00, we will join another Meetup for a relaxed walk in the Sonian Forest 🌿🥾.
