French Language And Study Abroad

Humorous French pronunciation

Speed Speaking in French/English
Franglish is a French/English language exchange event taking place four to five times per week in some of the best venues across Paris.

It is a one-to-one conversation event. People participate in at least 5 sessions of 15 minutes each (one native French speaker and one native English speaker). During one session, French is spoken half the time and English the other half.

After each session participants switch tables and meet a new language partner. It is very easy for people to learn a language and meet locals in a friendly atmosphere.

Over 30 people attend each event and it’s a good mix of ages, and their French/English doesn’t have to be perfect. A lot of people come who speak very little French/English. A bilingual organizer is there to guide and help people during the events.

English speakers like the concept, and most of them come back to our events. If you are interested, contact us, and we will be very happy to tell you more about Franglish.

We invite you to come to one of our events. More details are available on our Website www.franglish.eu
