On Saturday 12 May, I was asked to take part in the Parents Like Us festival, in Leith. I created a 45 minutes interactive workshop, in which parents and children could interact and learn some classic French songs and nursery rhymes. It was a scary prospect, as this was the first time I had done anything like this (certainly within that context!), but it was all worth it! I couldn't have

About the Edinburgh French Meetup It serves to bring together francophiles, including francophones, to share their mutual interest in French and French culture. People get together and speak French very informally and are interested in meeting other francophiles. If you are wondering about coming along - just go for it! We are a very friendly bunch, and always enjoy meeting new people!

Je vous parlais d'Edimbourg Accueil la semaine derniere car cette nouvelle association organisait un cocktail d'accueil le 2 octobre. De quoi s’agit-il en effet? J’ai reussi a contacter la Presidente de l’Association, qui m’a explique de quoi il s’agissait: C'est un groupe qui s'adresse aux francophones (pas seulement aux Francais) mais qui est seulement ouvert aux personnes/familles bilingues.
