At the Alliance Française, our very popular general french classes will allow you to develop all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing; and provides you with a wealth of intercultural insight.

Through interactive activities, you will progress from basic communication situations to more complex interactions, where you must organize your ideas in order to inform, explain, narrate, convince, argue, or speak in public. Our classes are based on the recommendations of the CEFR (the Common European Framework for Languages), a standard reference adopted by dozens of educational systems worldwide. We used in that regards the textbook Alter Ego, éditions Hachette FLE.

Our levels

Beginner - A1

This level recognizes basic knowledge. It is the most basic level at which a language is used, called the "discovery" stage. At this stage, the learner can interact in a simple way: he/she can speak about him/herself and his/her immediate environment.

Intermediate - A 2

This level is based on the same principle: it recognizes the linguistic competency of a basic user, considered as a social actor. The candidate can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring the most common polite phrases and exchanges of information.

Advanced - B1 & B2

At B1 level, the user becomes independent. He/she can maintain interaction: he/she can understand and maintain a discussion and give his/her opinion. He/she is capable of dealing with situations likely to arise in daily life. A B2 user has a degree of independence that allows him/her to construct arguments to defend his/her opinion, explain his/her viewpoint and negotiate. At this level, the candidate has a degree of fluency and spontaneity in regular interactions and is capable of correcting his/her own mistakes.

Books and membership fees are not included in the tuition fee. Each book covers 6 sessions with classes twice a week, and 12 sessions with classes once a week.

Your level may not be available on each day.
