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.

    Tutors:  Frédéric Fournier
    Les Jeux Olympiques de Paris du 26 Juillet au 11 Aout seront l’événement sportif de l’année.



    Depuis 10 ans, Paris se prépare à accueillir ces vingt-troisièmes Olympiades. De grands chantiers ont été lancés, de nouvelles lignes de métro ont été ouvertes et la Seine sera transformée en une gigantesque piscine !

    Les Jeux Olympiques de 1900 avaient profondément changé la capitale. Certains disent que Paris 2024 sera l’équivalent d’un nouveau baron Haussmann. Nous verrons tout cela ensemble.
