French courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week over the year

The most common rhythm among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you up roughly one level a year, provided you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one to two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news, your job, and the tutor corrects recurring mistakes as you go.

French courses in Shawforth: common questions

How can I refresh my school French quickly?

Start with conversation lessons rather than grammar drills: a tutor quickly finds what you remember and fills the gaps. Two short sessions a week plus French podcasts bring most people back to a comfortable level in a few months.

Which French exam is best for working in France?

The DELF B2 is widely recognised by employers and never expires. For a residence or citizenship application, French authorities usually accept the TCF or a DELF at the required level.
