Join Our French Learning Community Conferences

We host a unique series of conferences featuring remarkable people who are learning French alongside you.
Each event centers around a passionate speaker who presents on a topic they love—entirely in French—for 15-25 minutes.

During the Presentation:

• Please keep your microphone muted to maintain the flow
• Cameras are optional throughout the entire meeting
• If you choose to participate in discussions, we encourage turning your camera on for a more engaging experience

After the Presentation:

We open the floor for casual, respectful group discussion in French, where you can ask questions, exchange ideas, and share experiences related to the topic.

While our guest speakers may occasionally accommodate questions in English, we encourage you to stretch yourself by using French—even if it feels challenging. Growth happens outside our comfort zone, especially in language learning!

Who Should Attend:

• Low-intermediate speakers who can participate in simple conversations are warmly encouraged to join the discussion
• Beginners or shy learners are equally welcome to attend, listen, and absorb the French exposure

This is an excellent opportunity to hear spoken French and connect with fellow learners on the same journey.

Our Community Values: Every opinion is respected and everyone is welcome. We maintain a positive environment by avoiding divisive topics like politics, religion, and sexuality.
