A French language partner is someone who speaks French and is trying to learn (in the case of Frenchly readers) English. You get together regularly and speak one language and then the other, encouraging and correcting one another.Unlike a classroom where the opportunity to speak is limited, a meeting with a language partner gives you plenty of time to talk, listen, and ask questions. It allows you to learn not only formal French but also real-life French, with all of the slang and nuance that French people use in everyday conversation. And because you're working with someone who is also learning a new language, you skip the usual embarrassment of navigating a new language because you are both making the same kinds of mistakes. It’s relaxed and informal and downright fun.
