with other French speakers based in different countries.

Gaffar is a serious student, already well established in the UAE, working in the accounting field. His desire to improve in French is noticeable and he'd like to use these practice sessions in order to raise his oral comprehension and oral expression. Other learners are welcome. Gaffar wants to practice and improve and this can be a fantastic opportunity for others to join and have a conversation in French.

About The French Club

The French Club is a global French-learning community focused on real, practical fluency. Founded in September 2024, it has grown into 21 international Meetup chapters across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with 8,300+ members and a structured curriculum built in-house (200 modules, from A1 to B2, about 4,000 pages).

Here on Meetup, you’ll find our FREE live events including the full 10-week A1 and A2 courses, A1 and A2 conversation practice, A1 and A2 homework sessions, student-led events such as 'Raconte-moi une histoire', and occasional special sessions with partner companies.

You’ll also see free learning events hosted by members of our teaching team, community leaders, and student collaborators.

If you’re looking for a more guided experience, we also offer paid options on our website (https://www.frenchclub.net) such as semi-private group classes (A1 to B2), the 'Atelier de Conversation', various other workshops for different language skills, and French immersion experiences (Quebec city in June 2026, Nice in Dec. 2026, etc.).

Our long-term home is https://www.frenchclub.net . Free events are still featured on Meetup but the above mentioned paid options are only available on https://www.frenchclub.net as of the end of March 2026. Come and take a look!
