how to choose your class
Choose YOUR level
There are 6 broad levels to master the French language: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. These are further broken up into sub-levels, each of which is 5 weeks long and covers about 30 hours of learning. In order to complete a level, you must complete all sub-levels. For example, to complete the A1 level, you must take the A1a, A1b and A1c courses.
Not sure about your level? If you are a complete beginner, you do not require a placement test. If you have already studied some French in the past and are not quite sure where to pick up from, take a placement test to find a level that works for you. Schedule a free placement test.
