A short-term French language course aimed at those who need to build on current skills or who want to kick start their language learning with a course at a French school in Paris (across 8 language levels).  We recommend students follow a programme of 2 weeks or longer for maximum benefit, but one-week courses are great as a taster programme or revision for those who are already studying French.
See the detailed explanation of teaching methods in the “Teaching” details (link above) for full details, however the key point is that all tuition is given in French, by French native speaking teachers.  Start dates are available every Monday of the year (barring public holidays and with set dates for beginners).  A French immersion course in Paris, France can really boost current language skills, no matter how short it’s duration and gives you the perfect opportunity to put your French into daily practise, not only in the classroom, but in the wonderful city of Paris as well!
