1. What does a French class at Alliance Française look like?
At the Alliance, all our classes are serious AND fun. Our students benefit from smaller groups (12 students max per class), making it easier
to practice and giving everyone the opportunity to speak. All our teachers are native speakers and fully qualified. We use the latest
teaching methods and technologies, including interactive whiteboards.
2. When are the classes?
We offer term courses, holiday courses and special workshops.
Our term courses are 9 or 10 weeks long and classes are held once a week, usually in the morning or in the evening. Although we recommend to
follow the whole duration of a course, it is possible to join a course during the term (except for complete beginners and other special
courses).
Our holiday courses happen during the break in between each term. Classes are usually held everyday for a week or two.
