Conversation Groups

Our French language conversation groups are open to all AF DuPage members regardless of French fluency. All levels of French are welcome and we invite beginners & native speakers to come together for informal conversation.

Members, please watch your email for an invitation. No need to pre-register.

You can also consult our Calendar for future dates.

AF DuPage continues to follow CDC and state and local safety guidelines at its events. By attending AF DuPage in-person events, participants voluntarily agree to assume full responsibility and liability for any risks incurred and agree not to hold AF DuPage, Inc. or its Directors or Officers liable for any illness or injury.

We highly recommend vaccinations and boosters for attendees, and an attendance list will be passed around at indoor events to enable contact tracing if necessary

Participants should use their own judgment attending an in-person indoor event.

We ask that our members support our host restaurants by purchasing something to eat or drink during the gathering.

For in-person conversation groups, we are unable to reserve tables, so seating will be first come, first served.

Wednesday, June 28, 7:00 pm

The Zoom link will be sent to all members one day before the event. There is no need to pre-register.

Zoom sessions may be divided into small “breakout rooms” which enable more intimate conversation with some of your AF DuPage friends.

Marcher et Bavarder

Stay tuned to this page for details about our next Marcher-Bavarder event, to be planned for some time in June. Merci!

For all Marcher-Bavarder sessions it's helpful for you to RSVP to let us know if you’re coming. We’ll ask for your mobile phone number so we can contact you if needed on the day of the event.

We will email meeting instructions the day before the event to all who have RSVP'd.

Apéro National by the Federation of Alliances Françaises

An opportunity to chat, en français, with Alliance Française members across the United States.

Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:00 pm Central Time, hosted by Linda Witt, Federation of Alliances Françaises USA Board Past-President

Attendees will be assigned to breakout rooms of 4-5 people, with each breakout session lasting 12-14 minutes. The rooms are then re-created (for a different mix each time). In this way, participants get to meet and chat with a variety of participants from different backgrounds and fluency levels.

This group is for intermediate to advanced (or fluent) speakers who are current members of an Alliance Française chapter in the U.S.
