French courses

The teaching method teaches French grammar through language games and exercises incorporated into the lessons. Oral communication is a priority: you will learn to listen, understand, and speak French. You’ll be able to express yourself naturally and appropriately, with fluency and the correct pronunciation and intonation. Most intensive group lessons take place from 9:00 to 13:00, and there is a 20-minute break for a short rest, a coffee while talking to your fellow students (in French!) or asking their teachers any questions.

The so-called "sorties pédagogiques" (walking lessons) are essential to the French lessons as they support what's taught in class. In addition, the students are encouraged to practice outside the classroom environment in a real-life context and direct contact with the social and cultural Parisian environment.
