French Lessons
One of the principal aims of the Association is to help those moving to France to settle in
And what better way is there, than to learn the language?
You will learn French in small weekly classes at very attractive prices, and will soon feel much more comfortable with the language you hear around you every day.
- Four levels – “Beginner“, “Intermediate“, “Advanced” and “Advanced Plus” (subject to a sufficient number of registrations)
- Half a term is the minimum enrolment period.
- The weekly two hour lessons are held over three terms, as per the local schools.
- Reading, writing and conversation are all covered.
- You can join at any time during the year subject to there being a space available.
- The teacher, Alain, is a French native, qualified to teach the language and is very experienced.
You will be made most welcome.
