Absolutely. Our teachers are specialists in teaching absolute beginners (A0). You don't need to speak French, or even English: your teacher uses lots of images, gestures, and role-playing so you can follow from the very first class. The goal is to gradually transition to a 100% French class, but the teacher ensures you are never lost.

Yes. This course is exclusively for people who have never learned French. Everyone in your class will start from the same point. If you already know a few words or have studied a little, we can offer you a free placement test and guide you to an A1 or more suitable group.

After 4 weeks, you will reach a solid A1 entry level. As indicated in the "Course Objectives," you will be able to introduce yourself, exchange simple information, order at a café, ask for directions, fill out a basic form, and manage several everyday situations in Paris.

At the end of this 60-hour module, you can move on to the next level in our regular programs: for example, an intensive or intensive plus course (16 to 20 hrs/week) or a half-day extensive course (10 hrs/week). Our academic team will advise you on choosing the best next step for your project (A1, then A2, etc.).

No. As indicated in the "Practical Information" section, all necessary teaching materials are included: course documents, photocopies, and certain digital resources. You do not need to buy a mandatory textbook.

No. This 4-week (60-hour) program alone is not sufficient for a long-stay student visa application. Consulates generally require a longer program with more hours per week. However, if you are an absolute beginner, this A0 module is the essential first step, which you will then complete with a long intensive plus program: the whole package then fully meets the requirements for the visa application or the renewal of the residence permit.

Groups are intentionally limited, generally between 3 and 12 learners. This allows the teacher to follow each student individually, frequently correct your pronunciation, and ensure you participate actively.

Yes. At the end of the session, you will take a small assessment and receive a certificate of completion indicating the dates, the total number of hours (60 h), and the level attained (A1 entry). Please note that this document is not a state diploma and has no legal value: it is a certificate issued by the school, which cannot be used as an official document for administrative purposes.
