Private French Courses

We specialize in language courses for adults looking for a relaxed setting and good food in a convivial; family atmosphere.

• Designed for people who have an urgent need to communicate rapidly and effectively in French.
• This course offers the choice of 15, 19 or 25 hours of private classes per week.
• For less intensive courses see our General Course or Intensive Course
• The Private Course is an effective, rapid means of developing your language skills.
   
• Entirely planned around your own needs, it is ideal for those who have a pressing professional need for French or are moving to France.
• Your teacher will help you overcome your particular difficulties and look at grammar or vocabulary points that concern you.

Guests are asked to send in the results of the test. As this test helps us assess your French knowledge and plan class levels in advance, we ask you not to guess the answers. On the Monday morning of arrival, an oral test is given to complete the assessment.

Active speaking practice is sought at all levels of ability to give confidence in conversational skills. You are rapidly encouraged to try and speak in real-life situations.

All our teachers are native French instructors who can explain grammar and vocabulary to beginners in English when necessary.

Intermediate and advanced students speak only in French. Because of its importance, emphasis is given to pronunciation during lessons.

You speak French all day long, 14 hours a day and then continue to speak French over a good meal and wine. The French-only rule at the dinner table for French-studying guests accelerates understanding through total immersion in the language. What better way is there to learn to speak French than at a French table?
