General French courses in Switzerland

With 30 lessons per week, the PREMIUM course is ideal for motivated students who want to dedicate themselves to studying. The 6th daily lesson is focused on writing skills and organised in a mini-group of a maximum of 7 participants.

The INTENSIVE course differs from the standard course because of its fast work pace and further investigation into subjects with a more communicative and relaxed approach with optional topics and conversation. The 5 additional lessons per week mainly focus on oral communication.

Our STANDARD course is an excellent choice if you want to improve your language skills and to have free time on your hands. Classes normally take place in the morning, which means that you can make the most of your time off in the afternoon to visit the city and take part in the activities or outings that the school offers.

The daily format of this course (3 hours per day, 4 days per week) is designed to achieve maximum results. Our programme takes a practical approach by putting theory into practice, providing ample speaking opportunities, encouraging discussion between students, enriching vocabulary and consolidating grammatical knowledge.

The Intensive course is for students who want to maximize their language learning practice during their stay. The courses focus heavily on speaking and communication skills: the morning consists of 3 hours in communication skills, while the afternoon consists of activities in French to provide the opportunity to learn the local culture and customs.

This course is designed for students who wish to combine a group course with private lessons in order to acquire a deeper knowledge of the language. Taking extra private lessons is an excellent way of intensifying oral communication exercises outside a group.
