whats your level? i need people to practice my french. i think my level is good but i dont know because no one speaks to me in french.

Hello Nikki,

If you are always interested to improve your french let me know.

I want to improve my english and live near Lausanne. We could meet and do tandem (speak french/english) once a week.

Cheers

Caroline

Yay! I really need a language partner. The only person that speaks to me in French is the cleaning lady

Cette semaine, je ne suis pas en Suisse. La prochaine semaine certainement. On parle bientot!

Bonjour ladies 

how about a French speaking coffee evening? It would be great if few of us could practise together!

Veronika

hey :) I'm intrested but i won't be available today :/ how about tomorrow ??

I'ld also be interested in a French speaking coffee group.

hello girls

how about meeting up during the week after work in Starbucks to practise our French language skills then? it would be fantastic if all of us could meet up on Wed/Thursday evening. Please, feel free to suggest more preferable days if middle of the week does not work for you.

Looking forward to our french chat.

Veronika

Sounds great :-)

This week, I would prefer Thursday or Tuesday (but if this is supposed to be a regular thing, unfortunately I won't have time on Thursdays). Wednesday could also work, but only if necessary.

18:30? Later? (A bit) earlier?

Hey! 

I also could use some help!
I already understand french but my conversational level it's bad cause I don't practice.

Hi to all!,

May I join you? :). My french level should be A2-B1. I realy need to practice it because it is getting worst and worst because I don't have a lot of opportunities to practice it. I am available  during the week or weekends. And of coourse if someone is interested in a tandem French/English-Spainish please let me know.

Cheers,

Ana.

Hi guys

Let's meet up on Thursday at 18.30 for this week :) (Don't hesitate to join us a bit later if it's more convenient for you.)

We will see how it goes and then the next time we can stick to another days which might work even better.

Is everyone okey with Starbucks St. Francois? 

Happy Sunday!

It's ok for me :)

Looking forward to it :-)

Hello everyone,

I would love to join your group, but my french is really poor... I came here the beggining of Oct, and I didn't take any classes. Just learn by myself so.. you can imagine. But I'm really motivated to improve my skills. Might I join? Is that fine for you to help someone who is on level of 2 years old child? :)

Hello Ada

Of course you can!

Looking forward to our first French chat everyone :)

Please include me. I'm attending courses (A2), but still need more practical help.

If it's ok, I'll be there also.. Starbucks, St. François at 18h30

hi, i would like to join u as well, also my french is still bad.. but i'm working thursday till 9 pm.. so if u are organizing something for next week or during the evening i would like to come over ;)

I'm joining too, see you!

Great initiative, I'm also interested in a language exchange. My native language is Dutch and I speak English quite well. I cannot make it tonight but I'll follow this thread to see when the next meeting will be. I'm a beginner (A2), so if you're interested in a tandempartner or in studying French together, let me know!

ALL  --I'm at the entry of Starbucks now (outside) with a sign on the table for Glocals.

Thanks a lot Luis and J K!

(If by any chance you find a table inside, this would be great, since I suppose the sun won't be there much longer to warm the always freezing girls amongst us ;-))

I'm just waiting for a xcouple of peeps before going inside.

Sorry, couldn't come, I hope next time! Hope you had fun.

Hi Katrin. We will meet again wednesday 29 octobre, same place.

Look for us under "Things to do" posting named "La Langue Lausanne"

- James

A tout bonjour.  La nouveu activitie est fait/constitué

Merci beauoup d'avoir créé l'activité !

Je viens de aussi créer un groupe avec le même nom, mais il faut encore attendre jusqu'à-ce que le admin autorise le groupe.

Thanks a lot for creating our next "activity"!

Additionally, I just created a new group with the same name, but we will have to wait until the admin authorises this group.

basic french error: La = feminin, therfore must be folloewd by "nouvelle" as "activité" is also feminin. also, because it follows the verb "est" the past participle, constituée/organisée, must agree in gender and number

should read: bonjour à tous, la nouvelle activité est constituée/organisée.

perhaps start your language lessons with basic french grammar :-)

bonne chance 

ps: i never capitalize in my email/message texts, total waste of time!!

Thank you guys, 

It was great to meet you there. See you next week :)

That's fantastic! I am really looking forward for our next coffee French time :)

So, here's our new group: http://www.glocals.com/groups/la-langue-lausanne-group.htm :-)

@ all: I just noticed that James created the event for 18:00, whereas I wrote 18:30 in the group. It's probably better not to give differing information, so the time should be changed either in the "activity" or in the "group", depending on when we should meet.

What time do you prefer? 18:00 or 18:30?

18.30 works perfectly for me, however if some of us are free earlier, 6pm is fine as well - the greater chance of having a bigger table, as the bookings are not possible in advance according to the staff. 

Both, 18:00 or 18:30 work for me :)

Well, I'll be there at 6pm waiting for you all then.  

Okay, then I'll change the info in the group also to 18:00.

 I live in Leysin. I am also intrested in joining to learn more french but it's a bit far for me! Please contact me if you live closer to me and want to trade French conversation for English.

Hi  There,

I am new glocal..just moved in Pully and still trying to understand my way around.

I am very interested in your meetings, however I feel my level of French is still to low and I would end up speaking in english/Italian/Spanish!  So before meeting you guys, I would prefer to get to a more reasonable level!

Anyone can suggest any good teacher in the area of Lausanne willing to give few lessons on French grammar/pronunciation or any good courses reasonably priced!?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Hello Caterina

Feel free to come anyway - we really are the group of people from A1-B1 levels. We are trying to understand and more important - we are trying to speak in French. If there is some kind of insecurity, saying the words in English is fine with everyone! It is the objective of our group - to ease any pressure you might have and make you feel more confident to speak as well as to learn.

You might find helpful the website www.babbel.com which is a great start to get yourself into the grammar and vocabulary. Give it a try! :)

Have a good day

Veronika

Bonjour Veronika!!
