The French Conversation Club (Francia társalgási klub) is back in 2026 at the Eötvös Károly Library in Veszprém, ready to welcome anyone who wants to brush up on their French, chat about current topics, or simply spend a cheerful couple of hours in a relaxed setting. No pressure, no grammar drills—just conversation, culture, and community. Whether you’re starting out, getting back into it, or already confident, you’re invited to join, regardless of your language level.
There’s a catch: the event currently has no confirmed date on the portal, so details may no longer be up to date. To make sure you don’t miss a session, reach out by email for the latest info or send your questions directly. The meeting point remains the same: 8200 Veszprém, Komakút Square (Komakút tér) 3, inside the Eötvös Károly Library, in the Dr. László Nagy Room (old building).
If the idea of speaking French with friendly faces appeals, this is your space. As the club puts it in French: Vous apprenez ou vous avez appris le français, mais vous n’avez pas l’occasion de le pratiquer? Vous aimez discuter et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes? Rejoignez-nous à la Bibliothèque Eötvös Károly. The gatherings are led by facilitator Ildikó Kenyeres, who keeps the atmosphere informal and welcoming, steering conversations to topics that matter to participants. Expect lively chats, fresh language practice, and the kind of nudge that gets dormant vocabulary moving again.
The program’s spirit is simple: refresh your French, meet people, and talk. You can drop in to explore culture, news, travel, films, or everyday life—with just enough structure to keep the conversation flowing. If you’ve ever thought, “I learned French but never get to use it,” this is precisely your scene.
