If you are not sure which class would suit you, Paul will be able to guide you.
(Your teacher Alain may suggest you move up or down a level after the first one or two lessons, once he has had a chance to assess your language skills.)
Step 2: these lessons are exclusively for members of the association, so if you have not already joined EuroMayenne, please fill in a membership form (see Steps 3 and 4 below) and write a cheque for the appropriate amount.
Your teacher Alain will ask to see your membership certificate (a document sent to you when your subscription for EuroMayenne has been received).
Step 3: Print off and fill in an enrolment form (which comes with a membership form).
For the membership and enrolment forms just click ….
