Hello all!

Zoe here. I am a 25 year old from Canada. I am here in Bordeaux for one month (until Sept 20). I am taking a language class to improve my very poor French (I am quite terrible but I want to learn!).

It would be refreshing to hang out and speak English because trying French all day Is tiring for a beginner.

à bientôt!

Hi zoe! I am a kiwi here in Bordeaux for 4 months now. I go to language school here also, which one are you going to? I live near jardin public, whereabouts are you?
It would be cool to meet up, practice our "poor" french together and speak English of course!
Andrea.

Awesome!

I am in level A1.2 .. I was placed in 2.2 but I asked to be moved down a couple because I am so terrible in conversation. You?
