Course Overview
Our French language courses include a complete range of adult group courses for all levels, from absolute beginners up to advanced students. Some of our intermediate and advanced students study for international examinations provided by Alliance Française.
Our courses use methods and materials especially prepared for children and teenagers and their respective ages.
We place a strong emphasis on students’ speaking skills. We also encourage students to tell us if they need any special vocabulary or material for their work or studies.
Course Standards
Our French courses follow the standards specified by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. These standards ensure that we can support French Language certifications that ensure that each student has the expected levels of listening, reading, speaking and writing.
