Our  General  French   courses   are  available  throughout   the  year.   They begin    every Monday, and students may choose any period of enrolment, from one week to three months or more. Only complete beginners' courses have specific starting dates once per month. Courses are offered at six different levels in accordance with the CEFR classification A1 - C2.  Minimum age of enrolment is 18 years.

Semi-Intensive General French

This programme consists of 20 units ( about 55 minutes each) of instruction per week. Hours: 8 am – 10 am and 10:30 – 12 noon with a break from 10 am to 10:30. In November, January and February, this programme is sometimes taught in the afternoon as well.
The appropriate group for each student is determined in an online placement test prior to student's arrival and on spot in an interview before the course begins. Regardless of the level, each course focuses on the efficient acquisition of communicative competence by the student: oral and written comprehension as well as oral expression, all of it underpinned by a systematic study of grammar. Written expression is more likely to be taught in afternoon sessions or private courses at the request of the student. The materials and methods used to teach various linguistic and cultural competences include authentic texts, documents developed by our teachers, role-playing, creative and recreational activities, and problem-solving (such as collecting information on market conditions, drawing up portraits of retailers, taking surveys, gathering information about various municipal administrations, etc.)

Intensive General French  

This programme is an extension of the semi-intensive programme and offerings two additional hours per day, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm, for a total of 30 units per week. It is especially recommended to students seeking to perfect their conversational skills. While the maximum number of students per class is seven, the average class size is three or four, creating ideal conditions for discussing selected themes for which the vocabulary has been studied in advance.
