‘Parlez vous francais?  Mais oui monsieur.’  Yes, last night was our inaugural French English Language Learning Experience.  The evening was held at Bar Room Bar in Gerrard Street, Central London and we had a fantastic turn out.  As you can see from the photos here, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as French learners rubbed shoulders with French people studying in the capital.

Congratulations go to our Quiz winners on the night: Fiona who won the French – English 6 CD French in ten minutes set, Joanna who took second prize of the Euro Talk 30 minute language taster sessions CD and Katoon who won the French – English dictionary from Harper Collins.  Again we had a fierce tie breaker between Dorrie, Natalie, Joanna and Katoon.  This time they had to guess how many cubic metres of chalk were pumped out of the Euro Tunnel on the English side.  Any ideas?  The answer is 4 million cubic metres.

Thanks once again to our partners who help make these Language Experience evenings, nights to remember.  So many thanks to Dani from Bar Room Bar for hosting the evening, Malvern House, Hot English Magazine, the Cine Lumiere and the Institut Francais for their support and generosity in filling up our goodie bags, and last but no way least thanks to Gazelle, Euro Talk and Harper Collins for the prizes. 

Also it wouldn’t be the same without the great crowd that come to our events, thank you all for making the evening so special.  Next Tuesday, as a send off before Christmas, we are having a more informal get together at the local pub to our office.  This is really a chance for us to meet socially with our students and language learners from the last 4 Language Learning Experience evenings.  We have already people confirmed from the Spanish – English Evenings and there was a lot of interest last night from the French as well to come along and practise languages in a more informal setting.

The pub is the Marylebone, Bar and Kitchen on York Street.  The nearest tube stations are Baker Street, Edgware Road and Marble Arch.  If you are interested in coming please contact James: james@answerenglish.com.  We will be getting there just after 19:00 and have a private area reserved.  You can either meet us straight there or come via our office just before and walk up with us.

The next French night will be in the New Year.  If you would like to see Photos from last night click on: Past Events (they will be going up later today).  To keep up with our Language Learning Evenings go to: Social Events
