My English for your French in Nyon or Geneva

I'm from California and am a beginner B1 level in French. I'm currently taking the month off of work to take an intensive French course in Geneva in the mornings. I would like to practice my French speaking skills outside of class as well, so I'm looking for a partner. In return, I can help you with your English.


I'm available at lunchtime in Geneva or in the afternoon/early evening in Nyon. I would prefer to meet with someone in Nyon as I'll be able to continue with the meetings once I go back to work in April, but if necessary, I am more flexible over the next month.


Let me know if you're interested!

Bonjour Lauren,


I just got my inscription in Glocals and saw your announcement. That's a nice coincidence as I am looking for someone to speak English with (advanced level but still needing some practice) and most of all, in Nyon, if possible. Evenings would fit perfectly.


So, if you are still looking to somebody to talk to in French, I will be glad to be that person. I am bilingual, Portuguese and French speaking.


Waiting for your comments,


A bientôt!

Hi, that would be great! Would Thursday nights work for you? Perhaps we can meet up next week and see if it's a good fit? I'm currently flexible with the time, but starting in mid-April, it would have to be 18:30 or later. Let me know what you think,

Thursday's would fit. This one I'm already busy but the next one (25th) would be good, around 19h. Here is my e-mail:


a_rocha79@yahoo.fr (so it's easier to communicate;)


Speak to you soon,

Abilio - I will email you separately. Eliana and Michael - when are you available to meet? Thursday evenings work well, or do either of you work in Nyon/would you be available at lunchtime?


I think if we all meet together to speak, it's better if we have 1-to-1 conversations for the majority of the time to make sure that everyone has equal time to speak. Therefore if we have 2 native English speakers and 2 native French speakers, it would be perfect.


Please let me know your preferred meeting time, as well as if you are available on a weekly basis.


Thanks!

Please note that I am not English native speaker but have been using English on a daily basis since several years besides having taken my MBA in England. 


If this is still ok I could be available Thursdays evenings. Lunch time is more complex for me.


 


Cheers.

Hello Eliana, I`m a journalist Peruvian, In 20 days I have a job interview (in English) for an International Swiss Company,
I am looking urgently for someone who could help me with some practice intermediate conversation in English at least twice for week (morning or afternoon). I am willing to exchange with my Spanish or French, or simply big thanks.


I live close to Nyon and will be better to meet somebody around without having to move to Geneva or somewhere else. If you know Spanish will be better for me.


Cesar


PS: may be my message is too late…
