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.
