    Marguerite, Director from French As You Like It - Jun 20, 2024
  • Yes, the teachers are also available at weekends. Please let us know your preferred dates and we will send you a suitable offer.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 20, 2024
  • The school would love to welcome your daughter. However, please note that the group classes are for adults only and that they are also classes for advanced beginners, which means that students are able to hold a conversation in French (in the present tense, and have some knowledge of the past and future tenses). Therefore, I would recommend that your daughter take private lessons rather than group classes so that she can make the most of her learning.
