General French classes
General French courses are syllabus-based courses following a textbook which emphasises the 4-skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). They are ideal for learners of all levels who aim to progress to the next CEFR proficiency level and/or wish to sit the DELF exam.
Textbook: Défi 1 (A1), Défi 2 (A2), Défi 3 (B1)
ed. La Maison des Langues
Conversation & Grammar classes
Conversation & Grammar courses are centred on weekly conversation topics while still reviewing grammar and vocabulary points. Materials are provided by the teacher and include authentic documents such as articles, videos, or recordings. They are ideal for learners with an intermediate to advanced level who wish to practise their speaking and listening comprehension.
Translation workshop
Our translation workshop is to help you with translation and give you tools to translate from French to English and also from English to French. We will translate a wide range of authentic documents, such as literary excerpts, songs and speeches. This workshop is open to those with a B1 (onwards) level minimum.
