Learn French with Real Tools

Speak Real French. Live Real Life in Paris.

At FTC Paris, we go beyond grammar. We teach French that helps you: find an apartment, talk to a doctor, debate real topics, live like a local.

That’s why our courses center on topics that matter: environment, health, education, work, digital culture, social life in Paris and France, …

A consistent method from A1 to B2

At FTC Paris, we use the L’atelier+ textbook series — a modern, immersive method designed specifically for adult French learners. Each level (A1, A2, B1, B2) builds on the same core themes while introducing new ones, with increasing depth and complexity.

This ensures:

smooth transitions between levels (spiral learning)

better retention of vocabulary and structures

a clear sense of progress

The textbook is just the beginning

At FTC Paris, the textbook launches the lesson, but never limits it. It helps you:

open a topic

organize your thoughts (what to say)

master the basics of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation (how to say it)

Then the teacher enriches the session with:

active, immersive tasks

fresh, relevant materials (TV clips, news, social media)

real-life examples and cultural references

Interactive French Classes with Multimedia

In a typical lesson, your teacher might open the digital textbook, launch a short YouTube video about Paris street food, then ask you to roleplay a dialogue at a local café. This isn’t passive learning — it’s real preparation for real life.

The best part? All your teacher’s whiteboard notes are automatically saved and shared via Google Drive, so you can easily review or catch up anytime.

Learn French for real life

Even with a solid B1 level, using French outside class can be intimidating. That’s normal. That’s why we:

create space for feedback and real-life anecdotes in class

design real-world simulations (at the market, the pharmacy, etc.)

This helps you connect classroom learning to your everyday life, and gain confidence fast.

Paper + digital: two versions, one flexible method

Every student at FTC Paris receives:

a paper copy of the L’atelier+ textbook and workbook (level-specific)

a digital version, available for 2 years via the Educadhoc app (desktop, tablet, smartphone)

Plus, you’ll have full access to the L’atelier+ online companion site featuring:

interactive activities to practice anytime

extra audio and video resources for listening and speaking skills

additional exercises to reinforce your classroom learning

With this blended approach (paper + digital + online), you can practice French anywhere, anytime, at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Do you teach grammar? Or just conversation?

We do both — but always with context. You’ll learn grammar to use it in real conversations, not just to pass a test.

Can I keep learning outside class?

Absolutely. You’ll have the digital textbook, access to the companion site, and all class notes saved on Google Drive.

Are the materials up to date?

Yes. We use current multimedia content via an interactive screen — news, videos, maps, social media…

Can I access class notes after the lesson?

Absolutely. All notes from the board are saved and shared via Google Drive.

What makes FTC Paris different from other schools?

We work with one consistent, level-linked textbook series.
Other schools may jump between methods or ask teachers to build their own content from scratch.
We follow one clear structure (L’atelier+), so you can build confidence and fluency at every level.

Build your real-life French skills, with the method, tools and support that make it work.
