22 French General Courses for adults in Montpellier

The goal of LSF’s Standard French course is to equip students with the tools they need to expand their knowledge and skills across a broad range of areas, including: listening comprehension, oral expression, reading comprehension, and writing.

A constant theme throughout the course will be using aspects of French culture to supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom, such as topics related to current affairs, social norms, and debates about any range of subjects.

There is constant monitoring of your progress, as participants are expected to take a test every week to closely measure your progress - and to highlight any strengths and weaknesses you might have in your work.

On Mondays, the lessons take place from 13:30 to 15:30. On Tuesday to Friday, lessons run from 9:00 to 12:30.

The Standard French course in Montpellier is a part-time programme which includes 20 lessons/week (15 hours total) in small group classes. One of the most popular aspects of this course is that it offers an immersive experience, since classes are always in French at all times, and you can take advantage of living in Montpellier to get your daily conversation practice. During your time on this course, you can expect to cover the most fundamental aspects of language learning: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. You will be assigned to the student group that is closest to your current French language level, with the possibility of progressing to other groups as you improve over time.

Standard classes are generally in the mornings but during peak periods, they may take place in the afternoon as well from 14:15 to 17:30.

For those learners who don’t have any particular hurry or urgency when it comes to improving their French, the Classic course offered by InTuition in Montpellier is the best option - with a very manageable 15 hours of lessons per week. In practice, your total exposure to French will be much greater than 15 hours per week, due to the combined factors of living in Montpellier and living with a local homestay family in their home. You can take your learning at your own pace, and perhaps give more of your time to exploring what the surrounding city has to offer.

Your homestay family will provide you with breakfast, lunch and dinner - something that will save you time, and also create the opportunity for you to sit down together and have a chat in French about life, French culture, or just the weather.
