- You have no idea when to use le, la, or les.
- You’ve spent some time in a French-speaking country but never managed to pick up more than a couple of words.

“An absolutely amazing school, wonderful teachers and a great way to learn! I wanted to improve my French so I could speak more easily with my new French in-laws, so I signed up for an introductory course. My French teacher is delightful and obviously has such an amazing passion for teaching, it makes the lessons really engaging. She goes above and beyond, sharing contemporary French events, history, art and culture throughout the week, not just while we’re in class – it really makes you enjoy your journey with the language.”
“Wanted to find an easy going but effective french program to eventually pass my french citizen test one day. I started at A2.1 level and working my up to B1. Having the same (amazing) teacher every class really helps, and progressing with the same students has been very fun. Would highly recommend The French Learning Institute to anyone looking to improve their French.”
“After learning basic French in school 8 years ago, I began at the French Learning Institute to re-learn the basics and improve my conversational skills. I studied with the Institute online and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The teachers took the time to assess my current French level and catered the course towards me to ensure that I received the best education. Studying online was just as good, if not better, than learning face-to-face, and every lesson ran incredibly smoothly. I could not recommend The French Learning Institute enough – best decision I made!”
Client’s Testimonials
I started private tuition which has been incredibly helpful, since the programme is tailored to my level and interests. I would highly recommend this pathway for anyone looking to specialise in one area or speed up their learning experience.
