Start the year off in style by joining the first Speak Dating evening of 2026!
One of the French Institute’s most popular events is back, offering you the chance to practice your French and meet others who share your love for the language – all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
If you’re a complete beginner, no worries: we will offer a dedicated group for you, perfect for picking up a few basic phrases and maybe even falling in love with French!
