Ed, French, 2017
"My experience in learning French was very enjoyable – informal but effective, with a range of skilled and friendly teachers who ignited an interest in the culture as well as skills in the language." Ed, French, 2017
French is spoken on five continents by more than 200 million people and is one of the official languages of nearly thirty countries around the world, as well as the European Union.
We offer French classes at most Common European Framework levels, starting from A1.1 (suitable for complete beginners), all the way to B2+, which offers students a very good knowledge of complex grammatical structures and wide-ranging vocabulary. Classes are taught by qualified native speakers, with a focus on communicative learning, to help you achieve fluency in the language of your choice.
Classes are small (6-15 students) and present the perfect opportunity for you to interact in a multicultural, dynamic environment. With support from our expert teachers, they'll help to build your confidence, improve your pronunciation and increase your oral and written skills.
We offer different levels in different terms – please refer to the Structure tab above for more information.
