Learn French

REGULAR ONSITE FRENCH COURSES

Our curriculum targets the systematic acquisition of grammar skills as a way to ensure long term development from language learning. While following this step-by-step approach, our skilled native French speaking teachers make a point of encouraging communication in French, as well as creating a lively atmosphere in the classroom. Even beginner level students find themselves exchanging in French from the first class!

​

The adult classes at the Alliance Française Wellington are typically run once a week in the mornings (10:00am – 12:00pm), lunchtime (conversation) and in the evenings (6:00pm – 8:00pm).
