History
The French Conversation Group was formed in 2010 as a WAFTA activity offering members an opportunity to speak French on a regular basis. The group is mixed in terms of language ability but structured so that everyone can take part in a conversation on a wide range of topics or language-related games and activities. Meetings are usually held monthly and are informal, hosted by group members in their homes with refreshments.
A small voluntary contribution (currently £1 per person) is requested from which a donation is made to a charity each year chosen by the group. Past recipients include Essex & Herts Air Ambulance, the Isabel Hospice, Medical Detection Dogs and the Digswell Place Riding for the Disabled Group.
We began with a group of six and now have over 20 members, all of whom have a reasonable level of understanding and can hold a basic conversation rather than just survival language. The conversation group is for WAFTA members.
