French

Bienvenue to the French soc family! Anyone studying French, is a native speaker or simply has an interest in the language is welcome!

There is no better way to meet and socialise with people than joining a society, but if you are looking to spend some fun French time outside lectures  then the French soc is what you are looking for! It’s a win win no?  You’ll have the chance to make new friends who are in your same course or share your interests, get a taste of francophone culture, and be part of a lively and close-knit society. We organise a range of events including French food and drink tasting, a Paris trip, a Christmas meal, themed nights out, and the Modern Languages Ball.

We also run the Académie Française, a chance to practise your speaking skills in a friendly environment, with students who are in your same boat, so no pressure to make mistakes !

Upcoming socials

L’Académie Française

This year the Académie française will run online on Microsoft Teams  You will be in small groups to have a chilled conversation in French, with a native speaker there to help you  dive into pronunciation, accents, slang, culture, things you wouldn’t normally put into practice in a lecture! Let’s think think outside the box!

Quiz nights- Amusons-nous!

We will be running a quiz every fortnight with a different theme each week, of course always related to french and francophone culture! A great way to meet new people as we are adapting to the new guidelines, but also to have some fun and a chat with friends.

For any queries, please contact our social secs:
