There is a hakwon called Alliance Francaise near Seoul Station.

Better yet, hire one of the numerous ethnic Korean adoptees from France to teach you privately. Since Korea has quite a few French speakers but low demand for French lessons, you can easily find a teacher by posting a job ad on the job bulletin board of GOAL (Global Overseas Adoptee Link).

Yes, I've been also wanting to brush up on my French. I need to get into it soon. Any groups around town? Maybe drinkers with a French problem?!

Ca fait longtemps que je n'ai pas pratique mon francais. Mon francais n'est pas parfait mais je pense que je peux t'aider a acquerir les fondations de la langue. J'ai un certificat d'enseignement de la langue francais comme langue seconde.

I used to try to get people to go to French meetings some months back, but I stop trying, because there was a lack of real, meaningful interest. People said they were interested, but it wouldn't happen. I could do it again. I have studied French in university for several years and practiced it in Quebec, occasionally practice it on-line, and having a teaching certificate in French and social studies... I am not perfect, I could use some improvement, but I can handle myself in any French speaking place without a problem.

I am sure I could teach you some basic conversation without a problem. You would have to PM me if you are interested in meeting, but I only want to do that if it's really serious.

P.S. I once tutored a Bahraini girl in a few months, and she learned enough French through me to pass the high school exam, so she wouldn't have to read her last year of high school...Instead of paying a lot of money for a hagwon, just pay for my dinner or whatever... That's easier.

moi aussi,

Je voudrais pratiquer mon francais. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de francophones a Seoul, mais j'ai entendu quelques uns depuis je suis arriv�.

vive Sarkozy.

OP, if you don't mind me asking,

Are you thinking of teaching ESL in France or living in Quebec when you finish your contract in Korea? In Korea, it would be easier to find Japanese and Chinese speaking Koreans. Anyway, good luck with your French.

Oui Adventurer, je suis d'accord cent pourcent....quand vous etes a un certain niveau linguistique, vous pouvez prendre control et apprendre seule, sans avoir la necessit� de prendre des cours de francais.

Moi je regarde le journal televis� chaque soir sur 'France24.com' et 'Tv5.fr'

Mais je voudrais avoir un conversation en francais plus souvent....c'est la rasion pour laquelle je toujours demande de chaque Canadian je recontre s'ils parlent francais ou pas.

Also, Alliance Francaise is a world-wide organization. I briefly took some fFrench lessons in the Dallas from l'Alliance Francaise.
