“The one to one private intensive format worked really well and was the best part of my course, I think the school has got it right!  The teachers are the best, go to Alpine French School!” Christine Clegg (Private Intensive Course)

You will go through a variety of linguistic activities during your time at Alpine French School so that you approach French from all different perspectives and in varied situations from conversational activities, pronunciation exercises, games, quizzes, songs, discussions, comedy sketches, commenting on authentic videos, role-playing in everyday situations so that at the end of the course, you will be readily understood in everyday situations. By speaking French in a friendly school environment and with our partner shops, bars and restaurants, you can practise talking in French in many different situations and this is the key to progression ! Reading, writing and grammar are also developed as the foundations of the language but the focus in lesson time is on oral communication.
Our pedagogical team and all of the Alpine French School staff are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.

The programme of each French course is tailor-made to the needs of the individual classes and is relevant to their level and objectives.
