What Makes This Intensive French Course Different

This is not just another intensive French course in Paris. Here is what makes it different.

Small groups of 10 max

More speaking time, more feedback from your teacher, and a real group dynamic — not a lecture hall.

Live notes from your teacher

Your teacher writes improved versions of your sentences, useful expressions and more live during class, so nothing gets lost and you can review it all afterwards.

A full DELF mock exam every session

Every 8 weeks, you take a full DELF-style exam in listening, reading, writing and speaking to assess your level and prepare for the official test.

A professional campus in La Défense

Your Spaces access includes La Défense and other Spaces locations across Paris. Study in a professional environment and meet French-speaking professionals and entrepreneurs.
