EF Paris offers a General French course experience consisting of 26 classes per week, accompanied by a diverse variety of activities for students that are intended to let the group get to know each other better and promote conversation in French as a result.
The approach of these classes is to build on students’ abilities in each of the four main areas of language: Listening, Writing, Reading and Speaking. Some of the unique activities that you can expect might include taking French cooking classes in a professional kitchen together, or even going to Disneyland Paris.
Participants will be able to determine the content of their classes for 4 lessons every week, thanks to the Special Interest Classes.
