Sister Cities International— The Sister Cities Program offers an unequaled opportunity for people of all ages to experience, explore and absorb other cultures through long-term partnerships established at the local level. The program is built on a foundation of public and private collaboration in communities around the United States and focuses on international outreach, exchange and cooperation.
One place you can speak French is at our monthly French Nights. Our members include native speakers, teachers, and enthusiastic learners.
Alliance Française de Chicago - gathering place for people interested in all aspects of France and French speaking cultures. The curriculum ranges from French language courses to classes specializing in history, culture and business. As a cultural center, it sponsors many programs open to the public.
Groupe Professionnel Francophone - provides a unique opportunity for Chicago area French speakers to meet in a friendly and welcoming setting. Meetings are the last Thursday of the month at the Great Street Restaurant, in the Renaissance Hotel (State & Wacker) starting at 5:30pm.
Union des Français de l'Etranger de Chicago (UFEC) - lots of cultural activities centered in Chicago for French living abroad; they're broadening their mission to include people interested in French language and culture. Check the e-Bulletins for activities, news and recipes each month.
Les Bavards, an informal group of French speakers (native and non-native), meets monthly over dinner at a Northwest suburban restaurant to practice the language. The only requirement is the ability to listen or converse in French. Those with rusty skills are welcome, too. Meeting time is 6:30 pm on the first Wenesday of the month. Venez-vous joindre a nous! For more information or to join the e-mailing list, call Sally Lipscomb (847-698-9480) or e-mail lesbavards@yahoo.com
There's also Les Bavards du Nord, which meets Saturday at 1pm at Berruti's Deli, 771 S. Buffalo Grove Road in Buffalo Grove. RSVP to lesBavardsduNord@yahoo.com or call 847-921-7864 by the preceding Thursday.
