Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak some French already?
No. Our beginner lessons truly start from scratch. The teacher adapts and can lean on English at first if needed.
How long until I can hold a simple conversation?
You'll exchange simple sentences within the first weeks. An A2 level (everyday conversations) is usually reached within a few months of regular lessons.
Are lessons one-to-one?
Yes, private lessons are one-to-one with your teacher, who tailors each session to your level and goals. Group classes by level are also available.
