Please note the start dates given on our website. Junior courses run from early July to early August.

  “On the first day of the course you will take a language test and be placed in the right level group. If you are assigned to a group and have the feeling that it is too difficult/easy, always indicate this immediately! Then we can do something about it.”

• Can you give me advice on which course suits me best? I am 55 years old and speak a little bit of French. I love coming to Paris and would like to combine my visit to the city with learning the language. Of course it is no problem to take lessons with young people, but I would love it if several people over 50 participate in the training.
  “Unfortunately, there are no schools in Paris that offer specific courses for seniors. We can, however, look at the average age of the students in a school and/or find you a combination course, for example: general course + culture/cooking/art.
  
  We recommend combining the group course with some private lessons. This way you will learn even more within a limited time frame and the private lessons allow you to focus better on not only what you are already good at, but also on the areas where you could use extra support.”
