About Us
La Causerie Française,
A Kansas City Language and Cultural Organization
Est. in 1913
La Causerie Française is a language and cultural organization that has had a rich history in Kansas City for over 110 years. We offer foreign language classes and cultural opportunities. Through Spanish, Italian and French classes and events we hope to build a sense of community and connection, and we hope that this experience extends outward to the benefit of others.
When?
Classes start in early September usually right after Labor Day and run through mid May.
Where?
We hold in person classes on Friday mornings at Second Presbyterian Church, 55th and Brookside Boulevard, Kansas City MO. There are online classes via Zoom on a variety of days and times.
See the Contact tab above for mailing address, phone number and details. Parking is sometimes tight, but please do not park in the Crestwood Shops spaces, they need those for customers. In person classes are scheduled for Friday mornings and run for 32 weeks, from September to May. They take place in the Second Presbyterian Church at 318 East 55th Street, Kansas City, MO 64113.
