The intensive face-to-face French courses allow participants to complete and certify one level of French in four months. The orientation of the annual courses is communicative, both in the objectives and in the methodology used. This means that in addition to rigorous training in grammar, these courses provide students with the resources they need to communicate correctly and appropriately in French in different areas. In class, participants will intensively practice oral expression as well as written expression.

Learn French with native teachers, quality and university accreditation, and face-to-face! Our courses are open to everyone.
