What is the difference between your different types of classes?

We offer 4 types of classes, each with its own pace, rhythm and schedule.

- General French: it means 3 hours per week (either 1h30 twice a week OR 3h in a row on one day).

You would use a textbook that would guide your progression. This type of classes focuses on quick

(but rather more intensive) progression.

- Club: 2 hours a week (mostly on mornings and early afternoon) in a class focused on maintening your

level and practice your French, braoden your knowledge of French culture.

- Workshop: 1h30 per week for advanced level focused on perfecting certain skills (extension of

vocabulary, debate and structure of your discourse).

- Lunch Hour: 1h per week at Lunch of conversation (no grammar or rigid structure). Maintain your level

and

The present document explains the progression of the General French classes but can help you identify your

level should you want to enrol in a class or workshop.
