In addition to language courses, we offer classes and workshops to polish up specific skills (pronunciation, vocabulary, etc.) or learn about French culture and literature.

Choose from 11-week, 5-week, and 1-week classes, offered weekdays and Saturdays in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Workshops are usually 1 to 3 hours.
