Le P’tit French Club has always been about more than just learning French, it’s about creating a space for genuine human connection and cultural exchange.

Le P’tit French Club has always been about more than just learning French, it’s about creating a space for genuine human connection and cultural exchange. Born from my dream of uniting people through language and shared experiences, the community started during the challenging days of COVID. At a time when many of us felt isolated, we found joy in connecting, even if it was online. That sense of connection became the foundation of our group, and it continues to shape everything we do today.

Our journey began in London in 2020, where we organized events that brought together a diverse range of people, over 800 members and more than 90 events later, our community continues to grow. Through these events, I’ve personally met dear friends who have enriched my life, and that’s exactly what I hope Le P’tit French Club offers to all its members: the chance to meet people, form friendships, and grow both personally and culturally.

As we continue to evolve, Lisbon is our next exciting chapter. We are ready to start hosting events here, bringing the same energy, passion, and inclusiveness that has made the London community so special.

Examples of Events We’ve Organized

French Coffee Break & Conversation

One of our regular events is the French Coffee Break, where we meet online regularly to practice conversational French. This is a relaxed way to immerse yourself in the language. Conversations cover everything from culture and current events to personal interests, with a native French speaker guiding and correcting participants. It’s a great way to improve your language skills, make new friends, and enjoy a casual cultural exchange.

Family-Friendly French Picnics

When the weather allows, we meet at places like Peckham Rye Park for French-speaking picnics. Families, friends, and new members gather to enjoy an afternoon outdoors, speaking French as much as possible. Children are encouraged to participate, making it a fun, inclusive event for all. It’s a beautiful way to connect across generations and practice French in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere.

Rooftop Drinks

For something a bit more social, our rooftop drinks events were always a hit. We’d gather at scenic spots like Skylight in Peckham, enjoying the views while practicing French with a cocktail in hand. Open to all levels of French speakers, these meetups were not only about language learning but also about building friendships and enjoying a relaxed evening together. The aim was always to make everyone feel included and encouraged, no matter their level of French.

Small Group Corrected Conversations

For those looking to refine their French, small conversation groups are available, where the focus is on speaking naturally while receiving helpful corrections. The tutor listens attentively, offering feedback on vocabulary and grammar as the conversation flows. After each session, personalized notes and advice are provided to help participants improve. It’s a chance to enjoy a relaxed chat while deepening language skills in a friendly, supportive environment, all while keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable.

Cultural Events for Kids

One of the most memorable events was a French-themed trip to the National History Museum, where we explored dinosaurs in French! Children were given missions and vocabulary sheets, and parents played an active role in supporting their learning. Events like these are designed to make learning fun and interactive, helping children develop a positive association with the language while involving the whole family.

The New Chapter in Lisbon

As we bring Le P’tit French Club to Lisbon, we are excited to start hosting similar events and expanding our international community. From language exchanges and cultural meetups to social gatherings, Lisbon is ready for a fresh start with new members and experiences. We are looking forward to meeting people who share our love for language and cross-cultural connections.

Our Evolving Vision

Le P’tit French Club is about creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where people from different walks of life come together. Learning is joyful, creative, and shared. Whether you’re attending a conversation group, a picnic, or a cultural outing, the goal is always the same: to make learning French an exciting journey, while fostering curiosity and respect for other cultures.

Through every event, we emphasize the importance of diversity and inclusion, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued. It’s this sense of belonging that makes our community special. The friendships I’ve made through Le P’tit French Club have been life-changing, and I hope our events offer the same opportunity for everyone who joins us.

We’re always evolving, just like the community itself. Whether in London or Lisbon, Le P’tit French Club continues to grow with each event, bringing more people together to share in the love of language and culture. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next, and I hope you’ll be a part of it!
