About this Event
Would you like to speak French more confidently in a relaxed and supportive environment?
Join our friendly and professionally led French Conversation Club in Brighton, where you can practise speaking naturally, develop your fluency and meet like-minded French learners.
Held every Wednesday evening at The French Horn pub, our weekly club has been bringing learners together in Brighton for nearly three years. It offers the perfect balance between structured language practice and an enjoyable social experience.
Each session is led by Suzanne, a qualified native French teacher with extensive experience helping adult learners develop their spoken French in a supportive and informal environment.
There’s no pressure to speak perfectly. You’ll be encouraged to participate at your own pace, and mistakes are welcomed as a natural and valuable part of learning.
Who is the club for?
The club is suitable for Advanced Beginner to Lower Intermediate learners who already have some basic French and would like more opportunities to practise speaking.
You should ideally be able to:
- Introduce yourself in French
- Understand and answer some simple questions
- Form basic sentences about familiar topics
The club is not suitable for complete beginners. If you’re unsure whether your level is right, please contact us before booking.
What happens during a session?
Each session is guided by a selection of conversation starters covering everyday life, travel, culture, personal experiences and other engaging topics.
We discuss each question together as a group, giving everyone the opportunity to answer, share their thoughts and respond to what others have said.
You’ll be encouraged to speak naturally and without interruption. Helpful feedback is given after you’ve finished speaking, allowing the conversation to flow while helping you improve your vocabulary, accuracy and confidence.
Why join us?
🇫🇷 Speak more French with confidence through engaging conversations on real-life topics.
🤝 Meet like-minded people in a friendly, welcoming and non-judgemental environment.
🌟 Receive expert guidance and personalised feedback from a qualified native French teacher.
💬 Use French regularly and develop your fluency in a relaxed setting outside the traditional classroom.
What our learners say
“I was very shy about joining the group as I assumed everyone would be so much better than me. They were, but I was welcomed with such gentleness. It’s more than just a conversation class – it feels like a friendship group.”
— Peter F.
