Course description

The long term program is divided in different modules.

The standard 30-lesson program is made of:
20 lessons of General French classes
+ 10 thematic workshops

Our General French programs are built around a basic program of 20 lessons, to acquire the fundamentals of the French language and to work on the 4 essential skills (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression).
These programs are flexible so that everyone can personalize their course by adding 5 workshops (10 lessons).
Our long-term courses are available for all levels and fit in with our methodical progress process over 1 to 4 terms periods.

You will develop your language skills in both oral and written French via long-stay immersion in both French language and culture.

You can also enhance your program by adding linguistic reinforcement or cultural discovery modules in order to familiarize yourself with the French workplace environment, prepare for French exams or for French higher education.

The standard 20-lesson program is made of:
20 lessons of General French classes at school

For the super-intensive 30-lesson program, we add:
– 10 lessons of themed workshops at school
These workshops allow you to progress faster, to improve your language skills and to enrich your knowledge of French culture.

They can relate to linguistic elements such as oral, written or phonetics and grammar, but also, for more advanced levels, more cultural themes such as current events or traditions and civilization. Other workshops also offer preparation for DELF / DALF exams, ideal for students wishing, for example, to enter French universities or have their level of French certified for professional or personal reasons.

"I met new people, the school staff were extremely kind, and the teacher was really professional."

Sonia Kirilova, student from Bulgaria

The school is located in a communicative place. It is clean and cozy inside. The classrooms are well appointed and welcoming. The French lessons went by imperceptibly quickly with the wonderful teacher. She explained so that I could understand everything. It was very interesting.

"Uma experiência rica em vários sentidos."

Luciana Kroeff, student from Brazil

Fiz um curso de três semanas no Les Ateliers em Paris no mês de fevereiro de 2024. Nossas aulas eram pela manhã. Foi muito tranquilo de fazer a inscrição pela internet e o pagamento via cartão .A comunicação com a equipe administrativa é fácil e gentil. Fui muito bem recebida e tudo correu como o combinado. O professor Dani é maravilhoso! Criativo e tem bom humor para levar uma turma que varia bastante e que a cada dia pode chegar um aluno desconhecido, com uma cultura completamente diferente. Isso acaba se transformando num ativo para o curso, pois penso que diversidade é riqueza. Os passeios com o professor pelo bairro são fantásticos, porque a gente visita lugares e aprende histórias contadas por um nativo.
Nessa experiência pude ativar minhas memórias do francês e apreender novos vocabulários e gramática. As atividades extra classe ajudam a fixar os conteúdos. E toda essa vivência se passou numa cidade como Paris! O que tornou a experiência inesquecível. Fica dentro de mim a vontade de voltar!
Obrigada equipe do Les Ateliers FL Paris!

"Unforgettable"

CARLOS DI PIETRO, student from Brazil

invest one month of my life learning french was a dream that came true. the school and people work in are fantastic. The teachers are amazing specially INGRID which certainly became a friend. I really like the method . The location was good for me but originally I rented an apartment near the prior location ( near notre dame) in order to arrive 5 minutes by walking but as the location changed , this was the only issue I had to face.....Our class was amazing and besides the learning process we really had fun and i gain friends. My only suggestion is to plan something better for the coffee break, as more facilities for coffee. Only this

"Interesting and challenging, I discovered lovely people and places"

Maria-Cristiana Oprea, student from Romania

I enjoyed all the lessons. The teachers are kind, polite and trustful and their activities helped me improve my language skills. The schedule is really flexible and offers the opportunity to discover the city. I appreciated the fact that teachers tried to catch up our attention by presenting the history of the city, but as well the language and its details, like pronunciation or familiar language.

Me and my friend, Anna, had some arguments with the host, I wouldn't like to see that lady ever again. She was rude with us and she was authoritarian with us. Every night we felt uncomfortable, we were scared to talk with each other not to get her mad.
I have already took a stand and filed a complaint at the school secretariat.

All in all, I don't regret choosing this school and I hope I will come here again in the near future.

"Excellent experience"

Olga Shevchenko, student from Afghanistan

4 consecutive weeks at FL school definitely improved my speaking and writing French! I was happy to be part of the FL school community. Compared to many other language schools I have ever attended, this one was the best. The tutors are very helpful, understanding and highly professional. I recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their French.

Bonjour Olga, thank you so much for your very nice feedback ! We're very happy that you enjoyed your stay at France Langue ! We hope to see you again in one of our schools !! We wish you all the best for the future !

"No progression in my language skills, only felt like I was getting good practice."

Sinead Tara Lynch, student from Ireland

Teachers were nice and very helpful. It was hard to join a class for only one week when they had already been working on material beforehand. As I was not staying in student accomadation I felt like there wasn't enough interaction with other students and I would have liked more class activities. I also think as well as dividing people into classes by their ability, I think age should have also been considered. Good teaching, but I felt my French didn't progress maybe due to the short time I was there for.
