Beginner to advanced level courses

We teach most languages at seven different levels and you can start anywhere from beginner to advanced. Our approach to learning is to teach you how to communicate effectively in real-life situations. We select content that is relevant to your needs. If you are a beginner, you will learn how to use the language as opposed to just repeating words and sentences as you would do with an app. We teach you to communicate rather than repeat.

  5. French 4/5: Les élections européennes : quels en sont les enjeux?
    Course start date:  Tue 4 Jun 2024

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Frédéric Fournier
    Du 6 au 9 Juin 2024 les électeurs des 27 pays membres de l’Union Européennes sont appelés aux urnes pour le renouvellement du parlement Européen, comme ils le sont tous les 5 ans depuis 1979. Le Royaume-Uni ayant quitté l’Union Europénne ne participera pas á ces élections. Toutefois les résidents Européens au Royaume-Uni voteront dans leurs ambassades et consulats et les Francais voteront á Londres, Ashford, Belfast, Brighton, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Leeds et Manchester.







    Élus par quotas et par pays, avec un mode proportionnel, les 705 parlementaires Européens représentent une trés large diversité d’opinions politiques. Depuis 1979 une grande alliance composée de libéraux du centre droit et de sociaux démocrate a dominé le parlement mais cela pourrait changer cette année.







    Va t-on assister á une arrivée en masse des partis eurosceptiques et a une poussée de l’extreme droite ? Quelle sera la prochaine coalition ? Est-ce que le parlement poursuivra ses politiques environnementales ambitieuses ? Est-ce que la nouvelle majorité poursuivra son soutien á l’Ukraine ?

    Mais s’il n’y avait pas déjà des critiques, nous ne serions pas en France… Paris va-t-elle se transformer en un énorme Air B & B ? Les bouquinistes, chassés durant les jeux, reviendront-ils et Paris conservera-t-elle le caractère que nous lui connaissons ?
