Conversation Socials

One of our most recent conversation socials, was held in August 2024 just before our visiting Twinners arrived from Montbazon.

It was a lovely sunny day, in the home and garden of one of our members, who provided space and some French wine for some of our French speaking (and non-French speaking) members to bring along a range of French foods to share and chat in French if possible.  A very convivial time was had by all.

The idea was just to have a chat in French with other members, and gain confidence in practising the language, in a relaxed atmosphere around a drink and nibbles.
