English exchange in Paris

Here's what your table could look like.

新しい友達!

Built for introverts too

Small, low-pressure groups. No spotlight.

You don't have to be the most extroverted person at the table. Most of our members aren't. Groups are kept small so everyone feels comfortable taking part.

  • Always 4 to 6 people. Small enough that listening counts as much as talking.
  • No icebreakers, no games. A friendly café and a real conversation. That's it.
  • Always a public, easy spot. A cosy café or bar near you. Easy to find, easy to leave.
  • One pace, your level. Beginner or fluent, we balance every table.

“I had such a wonderful time at my first Furamori meetup. I met friendly folks from different backgrounds, and the conversations just flowed naturally. The groups are small enough that there's no pressure. I'll come again!”

“I tried twice to practice my English and I had a great time both times. There were no awkward silences, and it was interesting to meet people from different backgrounds.”

“J'ai essayé deux fois de pratiquer mon anglais et j'ai passé un super moment les deux fois. Il n'y a pas eu de silences gênants, et c'était intéressant de rencontrer des gens d'horizons différents.”

“This is a great platform. You're helping loads of people cope with loneliness in this fast paced, isolated world, which is something I admire and respect. Thank you for creating it. The world becomes small once we start connecting with people, and Furamori helps us do exactly that.”

★★★★★

“Felt at home from the very first session. Small group, kind people, and a real reason to keep practising French every week.”

“初回から本当に居心地がよかったです。小さなグループ、優しい人、そして毎週フランス語を続ける本当の理由。”

★★★★★

“I'd lived here for years and wanted to make new friends. Furamori is a relaxed way to meet people, and I prefer the smaller groups since the conversations go deeper.”

“Je vis ici depuis des années et je voulais me faire de nouveaux amis. Furamori est une façon détendue de rencontrer du monde, et je préfère les petits groupes car les conversations vont plus en profondeur.”

LucasParis
★★★★★

“I'd tried apps for months and barely improved. One session at Furamori taught me more about how French is actually spoken than weeks of solo practice.”

SophieParis
★★★★★

“I love how mixed the group is. Native speakers from different countries, plus learners. Every session feels different.”

“グループの多様性がとても好きです。いろんな国のネイティブスピーカーと学習者が一緒です。”

SoraParis
★★★★★

“As an introvert, I was scared at first. But the group is so small there's never pressure to perform, only to listen, smile, and try a few words.”

“En tant qu'introvertie, j'avais peur au début. Mais le groupe est si petit qu'il n'y a jamais de pression, juste écouter, sourire, et essayer quelques mots.”

FAQ

English exchange in Paris

Can I come if I'm a beginner?
Yes. You don't need to be fluent. We build groups with compatible levels, so even a complete beginner will find their place. Listening counts as much as talking.
Are there always native speakers at the table?
Yes, that's the rule. Every French–Japanese table includes Japanese native speakers, so practice is real on both sides.
How do you form the groups?
We balance each table around English and your level, always with natives. We aim for a good mix so every group has the right energy and everyone gets to practise.
I'm a bit nervous about going alone.
We understand! We carefully nurture a respectful, open and kind culture, and do everything we can to make sure you have a great time. You might meet your next best friend, a basketball buddy, or the person you'll binge your next series with. Why not give it a try?
Can I bring a friend?
Of course. Send us an email with their name and the session you registered for, and we'll make sure you're in the same group.
How much does it cost?
€5 per session. That covers your seat and our hosting. You only pay for your own drinks and food at the café.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes. Cancel up to 48h before your session and we'll move your seat to another one, or refund you. After 48h, refunds aren't possible.
How can I reach you?
Email us at furamoriapp@gmail.com or message @furamori on Instagram. We're happy to help.
