You're always going to have the issue of people "practicing" their English on you. What you can do is offer to do some "bi-lingual" conversation groups - 45 minutes in French, then 45 in English over coffee or a glass of something or a light snack. Should make you immensely popular.

If you want a head start on learning the language, you can get some French TV programs on the internet. This is a great way to learn. The "Guignols" are allways good for a few laughs. You can also get French periodicals, such as L'Express, on the web.
