always challenging.”

particularly enjoy and appreciate the flexibility and

support from the teacher. The course has given

me an excellent foundation in the language and the

confidence to progress even further!”

good company + great biscuits = an evening with our

Alliance Française teacher!”

from a native speaker enables you to learn the

intricacies of the language.”

“This is my second year with Alliance Française and I

enjoy working in a group. The atmosphere

is informal and fun. It is interesting to learn about the

French way of life as well as the language.

Having been taught at school by an English person, I

am relishing being taught by a French person. It

makes much more sense.”

a sociable way with someone who is patient

and kind.”
