Weekly Conversation Group
Mondays, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
The French Club meets weekly at the Memorial Union on the Tempe campus.
The final conversation group for Fall 2009 semester will be Monday, December 7, 2009. Please check this Web page for conversation times to be announced for Spring 2010.
Generally, the French Club meets at a location on the Tempe campus one day each week at a set time. Meeting times for each new semester may change and are decided by the French Club Officers at the beginning of the semester and advertised. Members may join conversation at their convenience. Some conversation activities and games are geared toward increasing knowledge of French and French conversation, however, deep knowledge of French is not required.
Important Note: Conversation group for Fall 2009 semester meets in the lounge with the fireplace on the first floor of the MU across from the information desk. If we move the meeting, we will post a sign in that location. See you all there!
