French Intensive Courses: pre-season

Are you thinking about improving your French before the winter season? If so, our French Intensive Courses in November and early December could be the perfect way to boost your French while waiting for the resort to open! Maybe you need to improve your French to get a job for the winter, maybe you want to be able to chat to your neighbours or make friends with the locals, or maybe you just want to brush up your rusty school French to get by in day-to-day life!

We will be running French Intensive courses throughout November and into early December. We have many different levels running so there should be a course to suit all levels! The courses focus on French communication skills and trying to get you speaking French, and if you can already speak French then we work on improving your speaking and listening.

Our French Intensive Courses run for 3 hours per day with a (well-earned) 15-minute coffee break in the middle. Your course will be run by a friendly native French speaker who is also an experienced teacher and knows how to keep lessons fun and interesting. We also try very hard to make the atmosphere in our classes and the school fun, friendly and welcoming so don’t be shy about taking a course or popping in to see us and we’ll be able to explain more about what we can offer and what would be best for you, your level and your objectives:)
