A friend of mine is giving a speech at a French Toastmasters group in Singapore and sent me the programme. I've listed the words in alphabetical order so I can practise them when I go to French speaking meetings. You will find French speaking clubs in France, Belgium, Canada, England, Switzerland and Singapore. Have I left any out? Please send me your club details.
Francophone meets at Cairnhill Community Club in Singapore. They meet monthly.
