We could not manage the school opening due to Covid-19 crisis and we will stay closed for our 2020 season. This is a sad decision but conditions are too uncertain and we want our guests to travel safely and be secure at the villa. Conditions should be better in 2021, fingers crossed !
If you want to keep working on your French or support the school, our teachers are available for Skype lessons. Use our contact form on homepage for more information. Merci.
FROM NOW, book your 2021 French Course in France
Have you ever heard of the Minitel? Probably never in a regular French language course. No, it is not a small telephone. It is one of those pieces of engineering that can only come from France, just like the Citroën DS, or … the guillotine.
Where would you learn this if not in a French language course in France? OK, maybe on Wikipedia, but that’s not the point.
In december 1897, a brand-new play by author Edmond de Rostand was first shown to an audience at the "Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin".
The name of the play is also the name of its main character: Cyrano de Bergerac. Until today, he still represents the essence of what we would call “L’esprit français”.
Learning French in France can also turn the French classroom into a concert hall. You don’t need to be a professional singer to be a part of the show. What you need is just to learn the French lyrics of any song you like… and at last understand the meaning of it!
If learning French by cooking can be exciting and fun, you can also add another technique to your range of ways to speak French.
No? But at least you should try to understand some...
For anyone that spent a few days in France, especially going downtown and passing by youngsters, or in the suburbs, a strange feeling occurs: what is this language everyone seems to speak? Don’t worry, you just met the most common used version of french slang.
Once you’ve decided to put yourself in total French language immersion, you need to make another important decision. Which French Language School should you choose ?
Different factors must be taken into account when taking your decision.
As a major part of the French language learning process, the daily use of new vocabulary or grammar is important.
Thus, we have implemented, as a part of our curriculum, a French cooking school inside our institution in the Villa Beaulieu.
Having a conversation in France can be quite disturbing the first time.
You went through the process of learning French at school, you have been able to master some vocabulary that should allow you to have a correct level of communication. Your understanding of the way verb tenses is not excellent but quite good enough to make sure people will understand you.
So many French language courses in France and all you need is to get the one that will fit your needs. Adult French courses have the specificity to allow people with the same interest to get together and focus on one goal : improving their level in French and getting the most out of their French language lessons in France.
You’ve tried to learn French from books, at school, with private teachers or at evening French courses for adults, but never in a completely French environment.
Once you are out of the classroom, you don’t need to speak French anymore so you don’t use what you’ve learned and this is the problem. Nobody forces you and the situation you are in does not require you to speak French. Taking a complete French immersion course is the ideal solution.
