Course
French classes are in the morning from 8.45 am to 12.05 pm with no more than 15 students per class.
Students learn new skills in an engaging environment and we adapt classes in such a way as to focus on communication in a group and role play. The aim is to prioritize the development of oral skills and self-confidence in participants.
As an optional extra, students can choose intensive classes with 20 French classes a week in total.
There are no lessons on the first Monday. You will take a test of written and oral French in the morning to assess your language level and assign you to a class.
