Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when it’s time to respond? Join a relaxed French conversation group (online) where we use real French conversations as a way to practise speaking French in a natural and structured way. This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you practise speaking through real-life content. ## 📰 This session’s topic : **Docteur Love** 💘 In this session, we will work with a short audio extract from a French radio show, where a love coach gives relationship advice live on air. What makes this extract especially interesting is that the coach speaks very naturally — with hesitations, pauses, filler words like *euuuh* and *bah*, just like in real spoken French. You’ll get exposed to authentic French as it is actually spoken by native speakers, not polished scripted French. ## 🎥 BEFORE THE SESSION Before the meetup, you will watch a short 1-minute French video clip. This video will give you key vocabulary and context, so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session. You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas. ## 💬 DURING THE MEETUP (ONLINE) We will use this content as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice. You will be guided through conversation activities to help you : You will be guided through conversation activities to help you : * Define and describe concepts in French (for example what is love? what makes a healthy relationship?). * Give advice and recommendations naturally. * Express your opinions about relationships and emotions. * Justify your ideas and explain your reasoning. You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence. ## 🗣️ ACTIVITY FORMAT The session will include : group discussion based on the video guided speaking questions interactive conversation practice a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario ## 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE By the end of the session, you will have practised how to: speak more spontaneously in French understand and react to real French content build confidence when expressing ideas move from “I understand” to “I can respond” ## 🌿 ATMOSPHERE This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection. ## 👥 LEVEL Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences). ## ⭐ FREE EVENT – FEEDBACK APPRECIATED This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups. At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions. ## 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions

Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🧛**Antonia** with *[Monster of the Week](https://evilhat.com/product/monster-of-the-week/)*. You are part of a ragtag group of hunters who investigate the strange, the supernatural, and the terrifying. Think *Buffy*, *Supernatural*, or *The X-Files*. Ordinary people (or mostly ordinary) who know that the darkness is real, that every fairytale and folk story contains some truth. As a hunter, you've decided to do something about it. This week, your group hears of a series of murders happening in Allberg. Four bodies in six weeks. All lost more blood than their wounds suggest. In addition, weird symbols have been found around each victim. Can you find the culprit and prevent further tragedy? * 🏘️ **Adam** with *[The Quiet Year](https://buriedwithoutceremony.itch.io/the-quiet-year)*, a GM-less, map-making game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilisation, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern. The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game. *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).
