Welcome to the French Conversation Group! If you are interested in news related to the francophone world and its different cultural aspects, this discussion group is for you. In weekly meetings, we will discuss and work together on several themes associated with the francophone culture. Thus, you will be able to practice your French while learning how to structure your arguments during a debate. The meeting will be in table ronde [round table] format, in which everyone will have to defend their arguments to strengthen their critical thinking and train their debating skills in French.
