NOTE: we follow the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR).

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 Complete Beginner level: students who never studied French will be introduced to basic everyday formal and information situations and develop basic grammar skills through the use of authentic documents and role plays.

At Refresher level, students who studied French at school but need to boost their over all skills in French with a priority on oral fluency to feel confident in everyday formal and informal situations through role plays and authentic documents.

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, 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!
