Intensive French programs for rapid progress!

Our General French programs are built around a basic program of 20 lessons, to acquire the fundamentals of the French language and to work on the 4 essential skills (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression).
These programs are flexible so that everyone can personalize their course by adding 3 modules (6 lessons) in the form of additional online workshops.

our objectives

the organization of the class

The long term courses are general French classes in which you will work and practice all the aspects of the language each week throughout the term. Whether it is listening comprehension, reading of written texts, discussion and oral expression or writing expression, each element is an integral part of the classes, without forgetting grammar lessons, vocabulary and structures of the language to reinforce your French level. The aim of general French classes is to train you to speak and communicate in French in your daily life. Authentic documents, vocabulary, discussions, debates, interactive exercises : all is made to immerse you in real concrete situations, in an authentic situation of communication that you will encounter in your daily life in any French speaking environment. Long term classes also introduce cultural elements through which you will discover different traditional and cultural aspects of France and of the francophone world and thus deepen your knowledge of the country and its culture while studying the language. The length of the long term programs allows a monitoring of the students and a more adapted and personalized approach. You will bond with your teacher who will be able to answer to your needs and specific demands throughout the term. The classes allow you to develop a feeling of friendship and mutual support with your classmates throughout the term. It is not rare to see beautiful friendships begin within the walls of Les ateliers FL !

The progress in French

At Les ateliers FL , we provide you with real solid and serious French classes in order to improve your level. However, French classes are very often interactive and playful. Songs, videos and games are part of our lessons so that the learning remains a moment of pleasure and sharing. At the end of each term a personal progress report will be issued by the school and your teacher. This will underline your improvements, your capacities and your personal implication throughout the course in learning French. The report will also state the French level achieved at the end of the term. This level will be assessed by a moke-exam of DELF/DALF through which you will be able to show your capacities in French and to register for the next level (if you are registered for an additional term at the school).
