Price comparison: 1 week General French course
Intensive French Course
This course includes a culture workshop once a week. The Intensive French course from Atelier 9’s Paris school offers a friendly and relaxed learning environment, which is made possible through their commitment to keeping each group to a maximum of 9 students. The school follows a much more communicative approach compared to more traditional styles of teaching French, and for that reason features a large amount of conversation activities, such as role plays based on everyday situations, or debates about current events, and so on.
Students are encouraged to participate actively, so this course is suited for those who are enthusiastic about the prospect of speaking as much as possible in class.
The school also offers a range of workshops that you can take part in, such as pronunciation workshops, and French music workshops.

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.
