Which levels are offered?

Helene D’Anjou offers French language courses at all levels, from beginner (A1) to advanced proficiency (C1), in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each level is designed to develop linguistic accuracy, fluency, and confidence appropriate to the student’s stage of learning.

Do I need prior knowledge of French?

No prior knowledge is required for beginner-level courses (A1). These programs are specifically designed for students with no previous experience in French. Students who already have some knowledge of the language may enroll in higher levels after an initial assessment.

How are students placed in the appropriate level?

Students with prior knowledge of French are placed through a level assessment, which may include a written and/or oral evaluation. This ensures that each student joins a group that matches their current abilities, allowing for effective learning and balanced progression.

What is the class format?

How long does each course last?

Course duration varies depending on the level and intensity of the program. Each course follows a structured curriculum designed to cover the objectives of the level thoroughly, ensuring consistent progress throughout the program.

For most students, A1 and A2 levels are typically completed within a period of approximately three months, depending on the course plan and the intensity of attendance. The pace of each program is adapted to support effective learning while maintaining academic consistency and steady progression.
