Courses offered

Courses are offered for levels A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Using a variety of materials and themes, they enable participants to work on the four skills needed to master the French language:

  • written comprehension
  • oral comprehension
  • written expression
  • oral expression

In addition to improving language skills, these courses offer the opportunity to become more familiar with French culture and civilization by tackling new themes every day. Planned visits allow participants to discover French culture in a concrete way while improving their language skills.

Courses are offered for levels B2/C1 according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). These courses enable you to improve your written production and understand French university methodology, by experimenting with the most commonly used exercises in all disciplines:

To acquire a solid general culture in the humanities, participants work on original documents (famous literary, philosophical and historical extracts).
