A trip to the province of Quebec! Not too far from the US.

Use one of the ‘chat partner’ apps or forums to find partners, such as :

• Speaky
• HelloTalk
• Tandem
• ITalki

Initially you can filter for the type of partner you need then text chat a bit to make sure they aren’t scammers etc and perhaps have the same level of dedication as you do.

Also, you can find discussion groups and locate partners on the French Discord server.

Discord has the advantage that there is more likely a group chat already in progress or you can setup a chat almost immediately with someone while the “partner” sites let you develop a connection with specific people but usually take a bit more planning to arrange at first.
