< Back to adult classes 

Speak French from day one! 

Build a solid foundation in French with this comprehensive introductory French immersion programme. Through interactive and multimedia activities, texts, and course books you will develop your skills in French in the four core areas: speaking, reading, writing and listening.  

The Beginner A1 level programme can be achieved within 4 or 6 terms depending on the pace you choose or in 3 months if you choose the Fast-track course.

          A1 - Learn to:

      • understand and use common expressions and basic phrases aimed at satisfying basic needs
      • introduce yourself and others; ask and answer questions about personal details such as where you live, people you know and things you have
      • interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help

EXAMS & CERTIFICATES

At the end of level A1, you can take the DELF A1 exam: an official and international recognition of your level in French.
