SMALL GROUPS TO LEARN FRENCH

To optimize French language learning, our classes consist of very small groups, from 2 to a maximum of 6 students. Giving preference to small classes means a climate of confidence can be established, encouraging participants, whatever their level, to work and develop their oral expression and understanding.

And, generally, to provide a type of teaching closely focused on the requirements of the students and to guarantee significant progress.
