The Institut français offers a wide choice of French courses at every level, either one-to-one or in groups, at an equally wide choice of days and times.

The general French courses will provide you with a real social environment and you will be completely immersed in French and experience the real French culture. The fast pace ‘Practical French’ course will delight all the travellers who are planning a trip to France as it will help them get confident and ready for their stay in just one week.

The flexible one-to one tuition will satisfy all busy students. The teachers will entirely customise the learning journey to suit all special needs. Your class can be either at the Institut français or at your place and the selection of online courses offers even more flexibility.

If you’ve covered all the basics in French and want to go further, the Institut français offers cultural, business and professional French courses, so you can discuss French cinema, contemporary literature, finance, or even French cultural icons. For those of you who wish to obtain an official certificate, the Institut français also offers exam preparation courses for either business (CCIP), or general French (DELF-DALF).

The classes are small and encourage communication amongst students – entirely in French, naturally – so it is very likely that in addition to pocketing a certificate, you will make good friends.
