Language courses in France are worthwhile!

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, language travel in France is definitely worthwhile for anyone who wants to learn French, brush up on what they have already learned or improve their language skills. Have you also had enough of the dreary classrooms of Swiss language schools and would like to learn French in a small town by the sea in the south of France or in romantic Paris, for example? Would you like to get to know French culture alongside the dry grammar and never-ending vocabulary and put your newly acquired French skills into practice in a café, on the beach or in a boutique? Would you like to devote yourself entirely to learning French, make new contacts from home and abroad and turn your back on all other obligations for a while?

 

Then it's worth taking a look at the current offers for language courses in France. Experienced teachers at the various language schools throughout France offer very instructive and interesting learning material, which can be learned in intensive courses or in half-day or hourly courses.

 

Anyone who invests so much time, energy and not least money in a language study trip and a suitable French course also wants this investment to pay off. You want a well-equipped school in a central location, nice teachers, a nice room and good-humored fellow students. You cannot influence each of these points now, but you can influence the most important ones. When looking for the right provider for your language travel in France, start right at the beginning with the cities you want to travel to. Once you have found these, focus on the courses on offer at the various locations. Which French course would you like? Where will you be offered this course? In which city can you take a diploma course? Once you have a few schools to choose from, it's now time to get down to the finer details of your search. There are a few points to consider that will help you find the school that suits you best among the many providers. You can find out more in our comprehensive guides.

 

Interesting and worthwhile offers for your language courses in France can be found, for example, on the internet portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Numerous schools present their French language courses in France there. Compare and book!

Questions and answers

Before you decide on a language school, you should consider how important the size of the school is to you for language travel to France. The school sizes are often labeled with the corresponding initial letters: S for Small, M for Medium and L for Large. Small schools usually have a total number of students of up to 60, which promises personal interaction between the language students and with the teachers. Another advantage is certainly that you are taught in small classes, but the disadvantage is that French courses cannot always be offered at every level. You are also less likely to find special courses in smaller schools, unless they specialize in them. The leisure programme, which is organized by the school on a daily or weekly basis, is more limited in scope than in large schools, which often offer very attractive and varied activities. Medium-sized language schools have up to 200 students, so that personal contact between students and teachers can still be maintained. French courses are usually offered at all levels and there is a good infrastructure. If you like a lively and diverse environment, it's best to choose large language schools with more than 200 students for your language travel to France. Here you will find all kinds of language courses and a very good infrastructure, with space for self-study and social gatherings, which is also reflected in the number of organized leisure programs. Which type of school you ultimately choose depends mainly on where you want to go, which course you want to attend and which size of school you personally prefer.
You shouldn't worry that you might be too old for language courses in France. Because learning a new foreign language has nothing to do with age and attending a language course in France is by no means tied to a maximum age. On the contrary. More and more language schools in France are offering course models specially developed for older language learners, often under the designation 50+. These French courses are thematically adapted to the relevant target group and also offer interesting leisure activities outside of the course. The accommodation, whether in a "host family" or in an apartment, also meets the higher standards of this age group, so that everything is thought of for such a language stay. Special offers for 30+ or business people also enable people over the age of young adulthood to take part in language courses abroad and participate in a language course with people in their age group or field of interest. It is best to talk to language travel providers in France about your ideas and wishes in order to find the offer that is best suited to you.
You can usually prepare for various French language diplomas in language schools in France in so-called diploma courses or exam courses. You can take the language exams at authorized examination centers and either register before you start your language course or do so during the course. The language school often takes care of the organization, travel and departure, so that you can concentrate exclusively on learning. However, as many exams are only scheduled twice a year and you can register for them at least two months before the date, you should find out about the relevant language exams well in advance. The schools for language travel to France, where you can usually attend a preparation course for some of these internationally recognized exams, will be happy to provide you with information:
  • DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) level A1, A2, B1, B2
  • DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) level C1, C2
  • CEFP 1 (Certificat d'Etudes de Français Pratique 1) level A2
  • CEFP 2 (Certificat d'Etudes de Français Pratique 2) level B1
  • DL (Diplôme de Langue) level B2
  • DSLCF (Diplôme Supérieur Langue et Culture Françaises) level C1
  • Diplomas from the CCIP (Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Paris) DFA1, DFA 2, DAFA, CFP, CFTH, CFJ, CFS, CFST
  • TELC français A1, A2, B1, B2
When traveling to France, you should be aware that the language lessons will be held exclusively in French. It is therefore advisable to brush up on your French before you travel and to revise important phrases and basic words. The French course is taught by a native speaker who has the necessary qualifications to teach French as a foreign language. To ensure that the lessons do not become boring, all teachers endeavor to make them varied and thematically adapted to the target group. To this end, listening comprehension exercises are carried out, also using audio files, and pronunciation is practiced. You will learn grammar rules and applications appropriate to your level, practise reading and writing as well as conversing with the teacher and other language students. You will receive all the necessary materials, such as textbooks and study sheets, directly from the language teachers, so you don't have to worry about this before your language study trip to France. The cost of course materials is not included in the price at all language schools, but this should be stated in the cost breakdown and paid for on site. Otherwise, please enquire about this before booking. It is also advisable to take a writing pad and pens with you, possibly also blank index cards, as these are rarely provided by the language schools in France and are often needed for homework, which you will receive after almost every lesson.
As with all language travel to France or another French-speaking country, find out about the individual providers and language courses early on and in detail. Obtain information directly from the respective language schools and compare the documents very carefully. You should therefore clarify the following points:
  • Experience of the school
  • Training and continuing education, further training of teachers
  • Teaching content and methods
  • Placement test
  • Class size
  • Certificates and diplomas
  • Location of the school
  • Accommodation and meals
  • Accessibility and public transport connections
  • Duration of lessons
  • Mix of nationalities among the participants
  • Leisure activities
  • Costs
  • Teaching materials
  • Arrival and transfer
  • Travel cancellation insurance

You can take French language courses at many language schools throughout Switzerland. Depending on the course you choose, lessons can take place once or several times a week for six months or longer. In the case of company courses, this continuing education, further training can vary greatly in terms of content, structure and time budget. Everything is possible, from a one-day crash course to a two-year course.
The location where the lessons take place can also vary. These courses can take place on the school's own premises or those of the company, as well as in a conference or training room at any other location. In addition to these language courses at schools or in companies, there is also the option of attending online courses. This learning method is extremely flexible and is particularly suitable for people who have little free time or work at very different times, for example in shift work. A number of language schools also offer language courses abroad. Learning a foreign language in this way is extremely effective and promotes oral language training in particular.
In addition to daily speaking in everyday life, French courses are offered according to the desired intensity, so that you can be sure that after your language trip you will not only have been culturally but also intellectually stimulated - and this to an extent that can rarely be the case with a conventional language course.
Language trips are the ideal way to learn French quickly and effectively, get to know the country and its people and make contact with like-minded people. Due to the high number of lessons per day as well as the exchange in the foreign language that takes place alongside the lessons, it is possible to learn and directly apply what you have learned much more quickly than in a standard language course in French schools here in Switzerland. Language trips and language camps are offered for children and teenagers as well as for young adults, as business courses or for special age groups, such as 50+ or 60+. Therefore, language stays are actually suitable for all age groups, provided you choose the right course.

Nevertheless, it is important to bear in mind that not everyone is equally enthusiastic about the idea of spending a few weeks in a foreign country, with foreign people and speaking a foreign language. Some children are afraid of being away from home alone or find it difficult to make contact with people they don't know. Don't disregard your child's needs just because you think it might be good for him or her. In such a case, it may help to send a familiar person with him or her on the language trip, either an older sibling or a friend. After all, French schools abroad can only really bring linguistic success if the participant, whether child or adult, is willing, able and open to learning something new.

A language study trip can be an extremely enriching experience for many people interested in learning French and a good alternative to conventional language courses in Switzerland. However, the basic prerequisite for a successful stay is always a certain amount of discipline and willingness to learn so that you can meet the demands placed on you by the school. You will be studying French every day of the week, except at weekends, for up to six hours a day depending on the course model. If you can't and won't motivate yourself to do this, a language course in France or another French-speaking country is not recommended.

If, on the other hand, you are prepared to invest a few hours five days a week in improving your oral and written French language skills, then a language study trip to Paris, Marseille or Lyon is probably ideal for your academic or professional future. You will learn the finer points of the French language every day in a course, practise grammar and sentence structure, written expression and questions, perhaps even special business French, and use everything you have learned during the rest of the day and at the weekend in oral communication in your environment. Whether on excursions in the surrounding area, on a French-guided city tour, ordering in a bistro or shopping in the supermarket, you will hear and speak French everywhere.
