Our students are surprised by the efficiency of our teaching method!

Our courses cover levels A1, A2, B1 et B2, defined by the Common European framework  of References for Languages.

Each course of 4 weeks can be completed by a second course of same lenght, to review it, in a different way, so that it is fully understood and durably consolidated.

After B2, we open a group for C1 ,which is not limited in lenght.

Thus, one can progress from a complete beginner to the level B2 in a minimum of 5 months and a maximum of 10. Usually six to seven months.

(FYI : at level B2 you will be able to communicate and work easily for a company, or comfortably attend a French University.)

It is you who decides (with the advice of your professor) ,at the end of the month, if you would like to pass directly into the superior group, or to stay in a different level.

The progression of each individual depends on a number of different factor : for instance, it is obviously easier for a Spanish person to understand French than a Japanese person... So this is no more than an average.

In practise, your level is evaluated each week, and our groups can be re-organized if necessary to remain homogenous.

Of course, the "special exam" option guarantees a particularly fast progression because its complements the group course with an individual tutoring.
