HOW TO FIND PEOPLE ONLINE TO SPEAK FRENCH WITH - 9 Resources & Tips

[@christinedrinkstea]

Our local university offers French classes for the public through their extension division. While the classes themselves did not offer enough of a focus on speaking French, they brought like minded people together. I joined an informal conversation group made up of students and former teachers. We used to meet weekly in a coffee shop to chat. Now it is zoom/what's app. I look forward to meeting them in person again!

Great video with tips. I’ve used some of these to learn French. Meetup, iTalki, Conversation Exchange and Social Media. I started sharing my language journey on LinkedIn and started finding business people where now I have a few language partners where they teach me French through weekly Teams meeting meetups in return I help them with English especially for business purposes. I started blogging in French too and sharing that on Twitter and then French people started following me and correcting my written French (of course I asked them to do this!) which in return built my French network. The internet has been wonderful to increase my French networks. Found everyone to be really helpful.

iTalki est merveilleux ! J'ai eu cinquante-six leçons jusqu'à présent. J'ai également utilisé les médias sociaux pour apprendre le français.

italki est super. Il a changé ma vie. Mais n'oublie pas que c'est toi et pas seulement la plateforme qui est la raison pour laquelle tu réussis. Ton attitude très proactive !

Mr Alex I hope you r doing great I want to ask you question .what is the difference when we say de toi and à toi for example parle à toi and suis accro de toi why not to use the same one

[@FrenchinPlainSight]

Simply depends on the verb/word before it. Parler à + person is the rule for parler. Être accro de + person is the rule for that one. Just gotta remember them :)

I tried HelloTalk, but all I got were other guys trying to hit on me. Not what I was looking for! 🤣
