Course description

The INTENSE program offers a French learning experience that goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. More than just a French course, it offers a holistic approach to learning, combining classes, workshops, self-study, and socio-cultural activities.

Course content:
> General course (2 hours per day): Explore specific themes while improving your use of French. Our textbook, L'atelier, 2nd edition, published between 2022 and 2023, prepares you for the new DELF exams. You'll also discover learning strategies to master the content effectively.
> Workshops (1 hour): Immerse yourself in playful activities such as acting, singing and drama. Workshops have unique themes: Découvrir Paris for levels A1-A2 and Découvrir la France for levels B1-B2. You'll work on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary and spelling, while preparing for the DELF exam.
> Self-study: Develop your independence and confidence in French by completing individual assignments. Whether in the library or with friends, this part of the program will help you consolidate what you've learned.
> Socio-cultural activities: Each month, immerse yourself in Parisian and French life through immersive activities. Discover the cultural richness of Paris and interact with the locals.

Rest:
Like an athlete, you need rest. After each session, treat yourself to a week's vacation to recharge your batteries. Your body and brain need it!
