Intensive general French course - Alliance Française Bordeaux

Objectif du cours

Learn to speak and write French in everyday situations

You want to learn French or improve your level? Our intensive French course is made for you! Thanks to various activities of observation, reflection and exchange, our intensive French course will allow you to progressively improve your level of French (pronunciation, comprehension, discussion, writing...) and to be able to speak French in many everyday situations, as well as in more complex discussions. Each session of our Intensive French course includes a production, speaking or writing, through the discovery of a communication situation and associated linguistic tools (vocabulary, grammar, phonetics).

Innovative educational tools

As with all of our courses, the Intensive French course favours interactivity by using material from the latest technologies (screens, interactive projectors, digital manuals and platform...).

As a student, you have access to our digital learning platform, with course summaries and complementary activities. A private social network for your class, the platform lets you exchange ideas with your teacher and fellow students.

Student testimonials

I highly recommend AF Bordeaux!

It’s the best place to learn French in the Bordeaux city center. The teachers are true professionals who are passionate about enabling students to become proficient in French and to experience fulfilling cultural exchanges in the community and with each other.

Reference school for learning French

I came to France to learn French, a language very well known all over the world and to discover French culture. I found here in Bordeaux a good language school and I am very happy! The teaching at AF Bordeaux is adapted for students.

Successful immersion in Bordeaux!

In March, I was a beginner in French. Three months later, I speak much better. I like to learn different languages and at the same time live in the country. It helps me a lot to learn and understand well too. I love my course and my teacher.

It was an exciting adventure!

I followed the online and bimodal courses simultaneously for 10 weeks. Thank you to the whole administrative and pedagogical team; not only for teaching the French language, but also for transmitting French culture every day with enthusiasm, effort and commitment.
