“ Suspect this is the most active, varied Meet-Up group in Edinburgh (bear in mind the code of conduct - passive membership is discouraged!). Although the standard of French is very high (lots of native French speakers and a few fluent non-natives), and the level seems challenging for those of us who've neglected the language over recent years, there isn't a more effective way to brush up on your French. FMU is a very social group, who often meet in someone's home or a bar... so there's nothing formal about it and generally the native French speakers are genuinely keen to help others progress their level of the language. ”

“ Comme je l'ai mentionne au-dessus, le groupe etait differemment equilibre par les differents niveaux de francais des participants et aussi par les nationalites diverses. Si je ne me trompe pas, il me semble qu'il y avait plus d'etrangers que d'ecossais ce qui peut bien-sur rendre les discussions plus faciles. S'il y avait une majorite de francais ce serait un peu plus difficile pour les autres de suivre les differentes discussions. Bref je crois que ce groupe etait un bon groupe car chacun pouvait evaluer un peu son niveau de francais en le comparant a des francophones et peut-etre voir quelle partie de la langue leur fait defaut. Cela peut etre le vocabulaire, la grammaire, la prononciation... C'etait un bon groupe ou chacun pouvait gauger son niveau. Je crois que chacun a senti la richesse des participants de par leurs nationalites et ca c'est toujours un plus: bravo! Un tres bon groupe: affaire a suivre... ”
