General French courses in Switzerland

With 30 lessons per week, the Intensive course is ideal for motivated students who want to dedicate themselves to studying. The 6th daily lesson is focused on writing skills and organised in a mini-group of a maximum of 7 participants.

The Semi-Intensive course differs from the standard course because of its fast work pace and further investigation into subjects with a more communicative and relaxed approach with optional topics and conversation. The 5 additional lessons per week mainly focus on oral communication.

Our STANDARD course is an excellent choice if you want to improve your language skills and to have free time on your hands. Classes normally take place in the morning, which means that you can make the most of your time off in the afternoon to visit the city and take part in the activities or outings that the school offers.

The daily format of this course (3 hours per day, 4 days per week) is designed to achieve maximum results. Our programme takes a practical approach by putting theory into practice, providing ample speaking opportunities, encouraging discussion between students, enriching vocabulary and consolidating grammatical knowledge.

This course is designed for students who wish to combine a group course with private lessons in order to acquire a deeper knowledge of the language. Taking extra private lessons is an excellent way of intensifying oral communication exercises outside a group.
