This is not just another intensive French course in Paris. Here is what makes it different.
A campus beyond 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.
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.
Stay connected to your class
If work or travel gets in the way, you can join your class live on Google Meet up to five days a month and keep up with the group.
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.
Add targeted Saturday classes
Intensive course students get 10% off our Saturday classes, including DELF preparation, pronunciation and grammar, and business French. Groups are limited to 6 students.
French for life in Paris and beyond
We teach both everyday French and academic or professional French, so you can handle daily situations as well as workplace or study-related conversations.
