The language of croissant🥐 and fillet mignon🥩, French is spoken worldwide by around 220 million people.🗣️ And there are so many accents that French speakers from the southern parts of France may not even understand the ones from the north due to accents and dialects, which is interesting since they live in the same country!

Did you know that most French speakers say four twenties (4x20) instead of eighty (80)? Yup😅, some French-speaking countries and communities thought exactly like you, “it makes no sense!”🥴, so they removed the original morphology and replaced 'quatre vingts' (4x20) for 'huitante' (80).

Join our French Basic group on Fridays at 6pm at to learn more fun facts about the French language

HAPPY NOWRUZ to all our friends that celebrate it.

Spring is here!!!

Last Friday we had a visit from Kath from Ipswich Police.
This visit shows the efforts that the local police are doing in order to reach the different communities living in Ipswich.

has been making great contacts with different local authorities to support a better understanding of the Romanian community in Ipswich.

Police officer #271 Kath, thanked us for her recent visit last Friday to our English for the Romanian session:

"I just wanted to say thank you again for having me at the English lesson and please pass on my thanks to all those who came."

Looking forward to working closely with Ipswich Police to support them on how to interact with the different communities living in Ipswich.

It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations. The attached bank holiday or public holiday may take place on 28 December if necessary to ensure it falls on a weekday. Boxing Day is also concurrent with the Christian festival 'Saint Stephen's Day'

In parts of Europe, such as several regions of Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Romania, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, and in the Republic of Ireland, 26 December is Saint Stephen's Day, which is considered the second day of Christmas.
