A Bespoke, Interactive Approach
Our curriculum is structured by core themes—including Gastronomy, Travel, and Professional Life—yet remains flexible. We invite our trainees to collaborate with their tutor to prioritize themes that align with their personal and professional objectives.
To ensure an immersive and vibrant learning environment, we utilize a diverse range of premium materials:
-
Authentic Media: Contemporary newspaper articles, French cinema, and literature.
-
Interactive Resources: Specialized games and cultural materials to stimulate dialogue.
-
Core Skills: Every lesson integrates the four pillars of language acquisition: Listening, Writing, Reading, and Speaking.
-
The “Virgile” Touch: A dedicated focus on phonetic precision (the French accent) and the structural elegance of French grammar.

“50 years after my last French class at school I joined Virginie’s intermediate conversation class. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every class and the way Virginie mixes games and quizzes with the more formal elements works really well. We learn and laugh in equal amounts, so don’t hesitate to join a class.”
