Language schools France: Information on schools and offers

You learn French at school, but this is rarely enough to actually be able to converse with a French person. Buying cakes in the patisserie is just as difficult as finding the right way to the restaurant. However, it is often not the desire to be able to communicate sufficiently in France, but professional factors that promise more success. Clear, grammatically perfect French is particularly important in the tourism industry, but also in the restaurant and hotel sector.

 

Since independent learning at home requires a lot of discipline and you usually can't motivate yourself after a while, language schools in France are the perfect alternative. The advantage of language schools in France is certainly that you don't just speak French for a few hours a day, but are challenged all day to express yourself in the foreign language so that someone understands you.

 

On Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you will find a selection of language schools in France as well as language schools in Switzerland where you can learn this beautiful language from scratch or optimize your existing knowledge. Find out about suitable language schools in France and have comprehensive documentation sent to you. Compare the duration and type of course, the costs and services and then decide on the school that suits you best.

Questions and answers

Those who want to learn French do not necessarily do so in order to obtain a degree. Nevertheless, this is of course possible. Every language school will issue you with a certificate confirming that you have attended a language course if you so wish. At most language schools in France, but also here in Switzerland, the individual courses are also geared towards the language levels of the participants, which have been defined in a Common European Framework of Reference. In 2001, the Council of Europe established six official language levels that define language skills. After completing each level, you can take a French exam to certify your language skills. These language levels are
  • A1 - Starter
  • A2 - Elementary
  • B1 - Pre-Intermediate
  • B2 - Intermediate
  • C1 - Advanced
  • C2 - Professional
If you make it to C2 level, you can be sure that you can speak and understand French almost like a native speaker and won't need any further courses. Official language examinations are offered for all these levels. These are for French: DELF, Diplôme d'études en langue française, and DALF, Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française. You can prepare for these exams in diploma courses at language schools in France, another French-speaking country, for example here in Switzerland.
Some language travel agencies have a small selection of language schools in Italy that offer special language programs for the whole family. The individual family members usually take part in French courses according to their language skills and age, which are often divided into age groups 3-7 years, 8-12 years and 13-17 years as well as adult language courses. However, this division can vary, also because courses for such young participants are not offered everywhere. Depending on their age, the children and young people learn French in a playful, sporty or scholastic way and, following the language course, are offered a varied leisure program that allows them to play and socialize with their peers. During this time, parents also attend a French course, which they can choose according to their personal preferences or professional goals. Most language schools in France differentiate between standard, intensive and business courses. Individual lessons or lessons for couples are also possible.
Almost every language school will issue you with a certificate at the end of a language course, which describes the duration of the course and the language level achieved. However, this certificate is usually only issued to language students who have attended at least 80 percent of the lessons. These certificates, which you receive from language schools in France, are not the same as language diplomas such as the DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française), the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française), the DELf junior for young people or the DELF scolaire for pupils. Nevertheless, it can be cited as proof of language training when applying for a new job, as it demonstrates your commitment and desire for continuing education, further training.
The different types of courses at language schools in France differ mainly in their intensity and focus. Standard courses are the most conventional courses, which offer clearly defined learning structures for beginners and advanced learners alike, in order to improve language skills step by step, usually one evening a week, with the help of selected teaching materials. Intensive courses are also quite similar in terms of content and structure, except that they take place more frequently or last longer. In an intensive French language course, for example, you are usually not only at the language school for two hours a week, but for two evenings or three to four hours at a time. In this way, you learn much more in a relatively short period of time than in a standard course and therefore achieve your learning goal more quickly.
Diploma courses at language schools in France are primarily aimed at people who want to take a language exam. These language exams are internationally recognized and are often required in order to be accepted at a university in France or a French-speaking country, for example, or to get a job that requires knowledge of French.
There are language schools in France in every major city and in many other smaller locations. Examples of these include:
  • Nice
  • Paris
  • Rouen
  • Antibes
  • Biarritz
  • Bordeaux
  • Amboise
  • Lyon
  • La Rochelle
  • Montpellier
  • Cannes
  • Tours
  • Brest
