À la française forum
This bilingual forum is the original and the most popular of my five forums. It is aimed mainly at intermediate French students, but everyone is welcome. Discussions are in both French and English - you can respond in either, or both.

Texting - Les Textos français
Learning French is one thing, but French on the internet - in chatrooms, forums, and email - or via text messaging can seem like a different language. Here are some common French abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols to help you communicate via text.

Bavard'Hyères
Il n'y a pas de club de conversation française à Hyères, donc j'en crée un. Bavard'Hyères invite les Hyérois (qu'ils soient français ou étrangers) qui ont envie de bavarder en français et de faire la connaissance d'autres amateurs de la langue française. Les sujets peuvent s'étendre des livres aux films et du voyage à la politique - la seule limitation est la langue de discussion.
