Course overview
The focus of this French language course is on spoken and written French, in a friendly atmosphere. You will learn essential grammar points as well as concentrating on improving your communication skills. The course also includes developing your listening and reading skills.
There will be no lessons on the first Monday of your stay. Instead, in the morning, students have a briefing meeting and guided tour of the town. At the beginning of the afternoon you’ll take an oral and written French test so that you can be assigned to a class that suits your level.
