Our friendly group now meets weekly by Zoom whilst we used to meet in Blackheath face-to-face every fortnight. As our photograph shows, our main aim is to enjoy ourselves. We encourage all members to participate with short presentations and plenty of supportive discussion. We always select a suitable novel and read a chapter which we talk about every couple of weeks.
We have room for new members, so please get in touch to see if our level suits you.

French (Intermediate), Eltham - Thursday
We are a friendly group at varying levels where those more fluent are happy to help those less advanced. We focus on conversation (our personal news and general items of interest) whilst also reading and translating extracts from French newspapers, magazines and books, and listening to French speakers from the web. Occasionally we watch then discuss a French film. We also plan to arrange festive meals out.
