NEW NAME! Alpine French School

NEW NAME! But it’s still Lost In Translation!

We have changed our name from Lost In Translation to Alpine French School. So if you were wondering why you typed in Lost In Translation but that you arrived at the Alpine French School website, it’s still us! We decided that our previous name didn’t explain very clearly what we did and we wanted a more straightforward name – so now we do “what it says on the tin”.

We hope you like the new name – and the new website. To go with the new name, we also have some new courses on offer and we will be expanding in 2015 to offer even more choice and flexibility! Please see the French Courses section of the website for more information. All of our courses now also include unlimited access to our online multimedia centre.

But we are still the same team, with the same ideas and standard of teaching. Your lessons will be the same as they have always been – fun but effective in improving your French. We look forward to seeing you after the Easter break. If there is anything about the new website that you don’t find clear, then just drop us an email or give us a call and we will be happy to help.
