French playgroups

[Anonymous]

Are there any play groups or French family meet ups in the area? I'm in NOVA. Husband is French and would like to surround our DD to other French speakers.

Have you checked to see if there's anything out of Kent Gardens in McLean (the French immersion school)? I have friends who are French speakers who send their kids there.

Why doesn't he speak French with them exclusively? I have a relative whose wife is Japanese and she only speaks Japanese with their children and they are fluent in both languages.

Do you mean French nationals or French language? Because there are thousands of French -speaking Africans in this area.

OP, most of these activities seem to take place in DC/MD, not NoVa.

Are you trying to be difficult? If not, perhaps you could have suggested a gathering of French speakers, regardless of race.

He does. But I’d like for her to also start having French speaking friends and surround herself with the language more during the weekdays when he’s working...plus I think it would be a great way to meet other French families.

I'm French and we haven't done any of those, and would certainly not do them this summer.

However there is an active French forum called "Mamans autour de DC" that you can check out for this!

Many Cameroonian and other French speaking north(ern) African families in Silver Spring and Rockville. Try googling for activities in MoCo. Weekends should be easy travel times.
