Thanks...but no Madame Claude's for me. Reasons left unsaid. But maybe I should delete this thread -

Oh, hey, not cool to say "expand your horizons" when you have no idea how expanded one's horizons are. But thanks.

Well as I said I'm looking for someone in DTJC for a reason, and Haitian French is very different from France French, as is Canadian French, but thanks for your advice.

Wow didn't know about the school - thanks.

Plenty of French Canadians ("Quebecois") in RVs in the Liberty Harbor RV park.

With the ample transportation options try expanding your horizons outside of the Downtown area or by connectiing with Canadians and Haitians.

You can try searching for French groups at meetup.com. My experience has not been positive. They seem to attract people who speak poorly or the middle-aged divorced or widowed looking to connect. I hope you have better luck. You can also subscribe to TV5 to watch French movies, news and other shows. There is a French school in DTJC - on 3rd between Erie and Marin. There might be parents who would swap French help for English help.

Start at Madame Claude's or Madame Claude's Wine Shop. There are French people on Jersey between 7th&8th St that fly one of those weird French Flags, maybe Quebecois?

Hi looking for fellow Francophiles and native speaking French people for casual neighborhood get-togethers and practicing speaking French???
