Adult students ’level may be assessed prior to the start of courses as classes are organised by levels.

Students will develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

However, French for All courses primarily focus on oral fluency, students’ ability to interact in real life formal and informal situations they will find themselves in while holidaying or working in a French speaking country.

At intermediate levels, students will develop their linguistic and grammar skills to be able to talk more deeply about themselves, understand the main points of a discussion with a native speaker about familiar topics ( work, school, leisure, family).

At more advanced levels, students will learn further techniques to enjoy discussing a variety of abstract topics such as aspects of the French civilisation and culture and discover or rediscover French literature or discuss news item. We enjoy finding unusual pieces from the news or ‘actualités insolites’ that are sure to put a smile on your face!
