Q&A - Questions about French courses and schools in France

  • We do not arrange visa arrangements. However, the school will provide you with all the necessary documents once you have paid the booking fee in full. With these documents, you will need to go to the embassy to complete the whole student visa process on your own.

  • I recommend our schools in Biarritz in the Basque Country on the Atlantic Ocean. Please contact us for more information about the different programs.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 06, 2024
  • We currently don't have a school in Orleans, but how do you like Tours? It is very close and a popular location for language programs. You can find many other language schools in Paris. We will be happy to send you suitable offers for your travel period and your language level.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 14, 2024
  • Unfortunately, there are currently no traditional language schools in Avignon (2024), but I can inquire whether a programme is available at the teacher's home in the Avignon area. However, with the programme you would have private lessons and all meals are included. Since your desire is independent accommodation, here is another idea:

    The nearest city with many language schools is Montpellier. Both cities are a good hour apart by public transport. A visit to Avignon is then definitely possible. Please contact us and we will send you further information about the programmes.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 03, 2024
  • We do not have a filter to classify schools by size.
    However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.
    Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 10, 2024
  • Your children can take these exams at authorised French language schools in Spain without the need to attend classes at the school in question.

    As for your 12 year old who is preparing for the DELF B2, I am pleased to inform you that there is a DELF B2 Junior version of the exam. This version is specifically adapted for teenagers, ensuring that the topics are appropriate and attractive to younger candidates. The DELF B2 Junior certificate has the same value as the standard DELF B2 exam and is recognised internationally.

    For more detailed and specific information about the exams, you should contact the authorised French language schools directly, by visiting the official DELF-DALF website.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2024
  • No, if you wish to study French in France for 13 weeks, you are not entitled to a work permit. To be able to work in France as a foreign student while studying French, you must apply for a long-stay visa for higher education, enrol in a recognised university or institution and respect the time limit (54 hours per month).
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 04, 2023
  • A1: Beginner - No knowledge or understands very few basic words/phrases.
    A2: Basic - Can understand and talk about simple topics: eg family, shopping, hobbies.
