“ I would recommend the "London French Meetup" group because I think the people are very friendly and the crowd was quite mixed; there were people from a number of different countries (Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, France, & UK just to mention a few). The place where the event was held was quite nice and I think nearly all the people present were speaking in French, which is what the event is about. This is a really good place to be if you are thinking to improve your French, meet French speakers and learn about the French culture.... "Je vous recommande de venir au prochain "Meetup", ils ne mords pas!" ”

I only spoke to two people having said that, groups started to form and there isn't that much time in which to get to know someone and move on too. Generally enjoyable though and if everyone's as nice as the people I spoke to I'm sure I will enjoy it next time. ”

“ This group is a great idea. I've been meaning to come for a few months now but its great to be able to speak in French and share the same thoughts as other members. It would be even better if there were more French people there. Living in a big international city they may find it hard to integrate into the English community.. this way they can meet English people?! The French members need to spread the word:) ”

“ This was the first time I had attended a meetup group and I didn't find the group to be very friendly. When my friend and I went to sit down, it seemed as if we were not wanted so we went off to sit by ourselves. The host was nice enough but the rest of the group were a bit cliquey for my liking. I will try to attend one of the normal meetup groups to see if this is the same. ”
—A former member on Mar 15, 2005.

“ There was a good mix of abilities and everyone was very nice and forgiving about my level of French (apart from an Italian guy who didn't seem to want to talk to me - his loss, I might have discovered he was a great chap!)

“ I haven't had a chance yet to meet most of the people but hopefully I will be able to meet them participating in next events. I would like to ask to members if they do have French books recommendations since I went last week to buy some and I realised I'm not familiarised at all with French writers. ”
— gema iturralde on Feb 7, 2005.
“ The only way to keep in touch with the spoken language is to speak. It's not easy to find people to speak French with unless you work for a French company or have French speakers around you. The Meetup group is an ideal way not only to speak French but to make some new friends as well. ”
— Manjiri on Sep 4, 2009.
