    well, you guys...
    there were only two of us at the meeting. sofie and myself.
    we had a very nice time. I hope noone else showed up and didn't find us.

    I find it quite interesting, though, that some of you guys write several messages over weeks and then do not even show up.
    what a waste of time...

    Hi everybody : what about paris_expats@yahoo.fr

    We are couple (belgo-canadian) we just arrived in Paris after a break in Brussels and coming back from Montreal and we have the plan to create a multilingual group here in Paris where we could meet people and at the same time practice a few languages. We actually had this expats group in Brussels and it was so great that we are looking to do the same here. If you are interested, we could meet regularly every week for example and I have a few people interested already but still haven’t found the ideal place where to meet in this big city. Any idea? In Brussels we had this place called: cercle des voyageurs and we used to play games and practice languages 2 by 2.
    You can contact me on my email:
    paris_expats@yahoo.fr which is also a NEW yahoo group
    ciao

    Hi everyone

    I would be interested in this group too

    I'm Irish, so I'm a native English speaker.

    It seems that I missed the last meeting.

    Are you holding another one in January?

    Hi everybody!
    My name is Eva, I'm French and I live near Marseille! :oops:
    I'm looking for english people who would like to come in France for an exchange. I would like to go to England to learn english, because my english is very bad, so I think that an exchange with an english speaker could be a good idea!
    If you lodge me for a time, I will very happy to acomodate you in my home, and show you my beautiful area!

    Hello all,

    I am spanish but I have lived in the US for some years, so my english should be good enough for an exchange... and I got a nice spanish-californian accent ... well, whatever :lol:

    I live in Paris and I am in urgent need of learning french. I'm on my way but still far away from anything that could remotely be called fluency. So I'm up for any exchange.

    My email: rafa.vazquez@gmail.com, feel free to drop a message whenever.

    A bientot!

    hello,

    i'm an american living near Cannes. I've been here for 4 years and I'm fluent in French. I love languages and talking about them. If we could get a chat group going, that would be best for me because I don't get to Paris often. You can also email me at voila.fr (you can figure it out).

    Hey Kim

    I was living in Marseille last year, and it would have been great to catch up...my French needs an American influence! I am an Aussie living in U.S. I am planning on getting back to 'Mars' soon, hoping that we can somehow exchange learning ahead of time. Let me know.

    Meetin Paris : free social group

    Hello,

    I'm the leader of Meetin Paris. Our group is comprised of both Expatriates and French people. Our French members speak English too. A lot of our members are new in Paris as you. We meet for all kinds of events and there is no membership fees. All of our members are open minded since they come to make friends. Our group is neither religious nor politic. What don't you take a look at our website ? You'll be able to see our next events as well as "news" and pictures about some of our past events (look under the picture on the home page).
    here is the link of the website:

    http://www.meetin.org/city/MEETinPARIS/Index.cfm

    In order to become a member, you just have to click on "Join now", fill in a short form and you are done ! Last Tuesday we had an awesome happy hour with plenty of people from plenty of countries.
    But plenty of other events are coming and you're of course welcome !
    I was part of this group when I was expatriate in Washington DC and it helped me tremendously to feel good in this city, that's why I'm motivated to develop the Meetin Paris group.
    Let me know if you have any question
    Hope to meet you soon !

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Jerome, i'm French. i'm actually having convo exchange with my former English teacher, but unfortunately she's leaving Paris and come back to England at the end of this month. So i look for convo exchange with a native English speaker. I'm open to any format. Even meeting in a bar, sit at different tables and exchange notes via the waiter!!!

    So i'd like to join your group if it's possible.

    Hope to meet you soon.

    meetup in Paris

    Hey there

    I am English and i'm looking to land in Paris around November time. I would be really interested in meeting some people to speak french with and also meet some 'people' in Paris, it would be fairly lonely for an English non french speaker i think. Has there been any progress on meeting? Did people meet at all and how did it go? If anyone is interested in exchange please let me know, be great to hear from you.

    Thanks

    Tom

    french/english language meetup

    Guys, hope everyone is well. For people wanting to speak French or English please let me have your email addresses and i'll create a group mailing list so we can get things sorted. I am going to Paris very soon and am looking for French people to talk to on a regular basis. I'm happy to help anyone with their English in return :) .

    Just post email address if you're serious about it and hopefully we can get something sorted out.

    Thanks

    Tom

    This is a great idea, a little group of mixed-language speakers!

    Love to me considered, if this is still going so if you are still collecting email addresses, alangoudie@hotmail.co.uk is mine.

    I'm a native English speaker with a "getting there" level of French so even outside this idea if anyone wants to get in touch and go for a chat, I'm always happy to meet new friends

    Thanks!

    Alan
