Language school to learn French !

Hello everyone,

Does anyone of you know of a language school where it is possible to learn French on a daily basis, in a small group of learners ???

The person does not speak French at all but really wants to learn it.
I heard of http://www.benedictneuch.ch/ in Neuchatel. I do not know if it is a good one or not.

Any tips, advice, help, info... is welcome !!!

Thanks a lot

Hi Bug, that's exactly what I do. I teach a small group of students, usually 3 to 5, everyday, and I use multimedia, video, French books. It's a lot of fun, and very efficient. I teach online. I don't know if I should put my link here, well here it is: www.edufire.com/frenchtutor . And another big advantage of online, is that it's not expansive at all.

Re: Language school to learn French !

Hey, thanks for your link. I'll forward it to the interested person. Indeed, the online teaching seem to be nice, if your internet connection is slow, do you learn slowly too ? Kidding !

Thanks for your help et bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à Montreal. Très jolie ville, j'y ai passé un weekend ! CHEERS

Re: Language school to learn French !

You could see if there is a "Université Populaire" in the area. My friend used one here in Geneva, said it was really good- quite intensive and really cheap.
Wow .... I just got the words "Geneva" and "cheap" in 1 sentence.

Re: Language school to learn French !

Have you looked into Ecole Migros? They offer a wide range of classes, including French.

I did not think this was possible without also including the words "not" or "never" lol

I went to Ifage, when I lived in Geneva, and they seemed pretty good with lots of options. Check'em out at Ifage.ch.

Re: Language school to learn French !

I'm attending to Institut Richelieu in Lausanne and pretty satisfied with their language teaching.

Alliance francaise de Geneve is not a real language school.

I wanted to continue my French lessons there after Niveau 1 & 2 in Shanghai with my scores. Wrote them an Email but got the reply that it is not the language school that teaches French there.

I want to find a good language school for weekends too. ANy hints? In Geneva, to learn French.
