Throughout the programme, you will quickly develop your French language communication skills across a range of real-life contexts. You will take a total of four lessons every day, with one half being devoted to vocabulary building, grammar, and pronunciation, and the other half focusing on the traditional four pillars of language acquisition listening, reading, speaking and writing.

This programme makes use of a course book in order to provide a clear and easy-to-follow curriculum, and will be supplemented by dynamic activities that get you involved with your classmates. Some of these methods might include case studies, debates, role-plays, and reading magazine excerpts together to later give your opinions.

During busy periods the General English classes may be run at different times of the day.

“I did a month of 20-hour classes, started in one class and finished in an upper level class, where I had a great time. Ivan and Maione good, he for advanced level with challenging and interactive lessons, she for general review.”
“The value for money is not adequate. It is really too expensive. Inadequate classrooms and equipment, inadequate extra activities. I say this in relation to the price.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Overall a good assessment of the teaching.I would have liked more classroom conversations and interactive lessons ( this Ivan does a lot). Also they were working , to learn vocabulary, on inappropriate topics such as "sustainable economy and pollution. I would have preferred to work on topics like how to live in France, in Paris. Basically I know how to say depopulation and diversification but I don "t know how to say fork and knife....

“Nice teachers who really put a lot of effort into their work.”
“The classes are extremely heterogeneous in terms of level, with students also changing frequently. This makes it difficult for the teaching staff to facilitate continuous progress and can lead to frustration among the students. In addition, from level B2 onwards, there is no longer any actual offer of learning in a group; thus, individual tuition is indispensable.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Compare before. Problem with heterogeneity in the class.

“For the most part the teachers were enthusiastic and helpful.”
“As a result of Covid there were only two classes whereas normally there are four. As such, if you weren’t a beginner then you were in the other class which meant that there was a real mix of levels in one classroom which led to the more advanced students being held back because of content that was too easy, spending too long on simple subjects or having to wait for less advanced students to catch up. This was particular.”

Jeanne
Accommodation: 4.0
Location: 4.0
Room: 5.0
Meals 2.0
"1st homestay was inconveniently 40-45 minutes away. My room was fine, but the apt was teeny-tiny and jammed with the owner's belongings. I was not allowed even a tiny shelf or a hook in the bathroom to put my things or even a towel. The hostess offered me instant coffee, even though she has a coffee maker. She let me use her coffee maker, but I had to buy my own coffee. I thought that was kind of cheap. The dinners were very nice, though she did not serve wine. I had to buy my own wine, and I felt a little uncomfortable being the only one drinking wine. The 2nd homestay was much more conveniently located, and the hostess was delightful. However, she was on a 3-day grapes-only diet, and dinner was almost nothing during this time (french fries & lettuce only one night!) I chose to eat out several nights, as the food was so terrible. However, the room, the location, and the hostess were all wonderful, so I didn't mind too much, and I would even stay with her again.

Does the school offer afternoon activities?

Daniel, from LSI Paris - Jun 21, 2023
Can I book a 2:1 private lesson for myself and my 12 year old son?
“We apply an age restriction of at least 16 years. I'm afraid your son is too young to attend our school.
Our teachers are excellently qualified to teach adults, but unfortunately not children.We cannot give a 12-year-old the same curriculum as an adult.
There are different methods and tools used for younger learners and this is a very different pedagogical methodology.”
Daniel, from LSI Paris - Mar 23, 2023
I am interested in a French course for adults that takes place in the middle of the day.
“The LSI school offers a course called "Afternoon 10" which consists of 10 lessons/week from 13:40 to 15:20, in which students can choose between general French, conversation classes or exam preparation.

Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 16, 2023
Could you tell me about the French with History of Art? I m only interested in learning about the history of art but not wanting to draw or paint.
“This course includes 20 French lessons in the mornings with 3 art workshops per week. Students will have an introduction to French History of Art in the afternoons (2:00 pm - 5:00pm). This programme will be given by one of the teachers who has a PHD in History of Art. It includes one hour theoretical introduction to one subject of History of Art followed by the visit of one exhibition around the subject that was presented during the class. The aim of this course is to combine French with the rich art heritage culture of the country and let students discover the basis of French History of Art. The students will be taken to the most famous Parisian Museums such as The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Centre Pompidou, Musée de l’Orangerie, Grand Palais, Musée Rodin, etc.

FAQ about LSI - Language Studies International, Paris

I plan to book an eight-week course. I would prefer to book for the first three weeks, and then renew for another 5 weeks if my daughter likes the course. I would like to ask if she will have any issue doing this once she has started and completed the first three weeks?
“You can book for three weeks and then extend for another 5 weeks once she is there. However, she should let us know at least one week before extending if she’s not requesting accommodation and two weeks before if she’s requesting accommodation.”
Daniel , Admissions Officer from LSI, Paris - May 31, 2024
Can I cancel my studies after my course has started?
“Cancellation after the course starts is possible, but the course fee will not be refunded.”
Louise Granath, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 14, 2024
When do I have to pay the remaining fees to school?
“The remaining amount for the course will have to be paid once you receive the invoice of the school, and no later than 14 days before the course starts.
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 31, 2023
I am 67 years and have always dreamed of doing a French language course in Paris. If there are no senior courses offered by the school I'd like to know if they organise any cultural programmes.
“LSI Paris does not offer a senior course. I can recommend a standard French course (mixed age class) which is scheduled from Monday to Friday. LSI Paris will organize 2 activities per week. Every Monday there will be a French movies club with French subtitles displayed for free at the school after the afternoon lessons. Every Wednesday there will be a cultural activity organized outside of the school by one of the teachers. Other activities are organized by one of their partners, the International Youth Club of Paris.These activities are optional and students are welcome to join them whenever they want”
Daniel , Admissions Officer from LSI Paris - Mar 24, 2023
Where the host families located?
“Most of the families that the school works with are located approximately 20-27 minutes by public transport from the school. This information is approximate and is reported by our former students. You will receive details of your host family 1 week before the departure date. ”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 15, 2023
My daughter and her friend are 16 and 17 years old. They have been studying French for approximately 3 years, but their level is still advanced beginner/early intermediate level. Which course would you recommend for a 2 week focused learning experience?
“The minimum required age for the adult courses is 16 years at LSI. The general 20 course is a good choice. They will take a placement test and they will be placed with the right group according to their level. They'll study all aspects of the language: speaking, grammar, writing, reading. However, if they want to progress faster I’d advise them to consider the Intensive 24 or Intensive 30 course. If students book the intensive 24 and 30 they will study the same lessons as for the General 20 course and they will choose electives to complement their course.

Daniel Quintero, Admissions Officer from LSI, Paris - Dec 16, 2022
Is the Intensive Programme with 24 lessons per week eligible for a student visa application?
“The Intensive 24 is eligible to apply for a student visa since the student must follow at least 20 hours per week which is the number of hours of this course.”
Daniel Quintero, from LSI Paris - Sep 01, 2022
What does the "partial half board" option mean in a homestay?
“"Partial half board" means that dinner is not included on Friday & Saturday as the host families may be away in the evening. Then lunch is included. During the weekdays it is usually breakfast and dinner. ”
Sabine Krafack, from LanguageCourse.net - Mar 02, 2022
Do I get to choose or have an influence on which family I will stay with?
“The school will match your request to a suitable host family, so it is important that you mention in the comment field of your booking if you have any specific requests for the family. All the hosts are monitored by the school, so you can be sure that they will be welcoming and everything will be clean. When you stay with French hosts you get to sample the local culture and customs, and they can often offer you advice on what to do in the local area. It is a distinct advantage to be able to practice the language in the evenings, around the dinner table if you book half board (breakfast and dinner).”

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
