An ambition
Working intensly my French for professional life
“I want to start speaking French, I know a few words, but not much more. I want to be independent, because my ambition is to work in France.”
Start
End
I’m starting at A1, my first step. I get it. At the last session, I reach B2.1 level. So after 5 sessions, without background, I communicate efficiently in French! With PLUS, I can choose between perfect my pronunciation or a bootcamp for the DELF. And go even further, continue in to B2.3, to be ready to get B2+ score at DELF B2.

Intensive French Course | Training content
General course
This 2h/day course offers you the opportunity to work on your use of French, based on a specific theme.
We choose to use a textbook, L’atelier, 2nd edition, published between 2022 and 2023 for our intensive French lessons. This manual has information about the new DELF exams. It also gives guidance on learning strategies. These strategies can help you learn and master content more effectively.
Lastly, it gives us the opportunity to truly enjoy and appreciate the work we are doing. We can take our time, think things through, and approach our tasks with joy and intelligence.
Workshops
Workshops are one hour long. It focuses on improving performance skills through activities such as acting, singing, and theater. These skills can be helpful for studying or practicing.
Our topics are unique. Discover, Paris for the A1-A2 levels, and France for the B1-B2 levels! More than a language course, we offer you a dive into French society.
You will also work on linguistic (grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling) and pragmatic skills (mastering what you write and what you say). A workshop to prepare for the DELF exam is available for those at level B1 and higher. The workshop focuses on current events and discussions in France.”
Self-training
These hours at school will help you develop your ability to learn on your own. In the library, you’ll find a variety of resources tailored to your needs.
What we’ll do together
You’ll take general French classes and workshops during every session.
You will also be asked to do individual work, either on your own or with friends, in library or in a friendly setting, to help you build your independence and confidence in French. Trainers will accompany you if you work at the center, by appointment only.
Each month, we offer a totally immersive social activity. Our aim is to open you up to life in Paris and France, and to their cultures.
What we work on together
- Debates in French society.
- Life in Paris and France.
- Your imagination & intuition.
- Written and oral comprehension: What you understand.
- Written and oral production: What you think, how you said and write it.
- Exchange, share your feelings, your point of view in the respect of each one.
Evaluation
Two evaluation formats will be offered:
- in an evaluation grid, using which only the skills worked on are assessed, by degree of acquisition,
- in grades, i.e. on performance. Graded assessment takes place at the end of each session, using the DELF format.
