Review of Alliance Française de Paris Il...

My daughter attended Alliance Francaise in 2008. This month, my husband and I are taking beginning French. As soon as you walk in the door, it is full immersion. The staff will speak French to you and will repeat the question or information in many different ways. It seems that each teacher has some autonomy to conduct the class in their own style. My husband and I are in different classes. We are both following the curriculum in the book, but in completely different styles. His class is doing more verb conjugation. In my class, we are talking more. In 4 weeks we will complete 1/2 of the Version Originale 1 text book. The web site is easy to navigate. All information you need to get started is easy to access before you pay. As soon as you make your payment, you get an e-mail with your confirmation and a placement test. We are in our late 50s and this has been a great experience for us. NOTE : The first Monday of the month is very busy as that is the only day "true beginners" may start. Be early.
