Our French Language Program

Find Out all About Our Courses Here!

Immerse yourself in French culture and make your stay in France an unforgettable adventure!
Absolutely French supports all expatriates and offers unique French language training courses for easy integration in France.
The complete French learning programme, via the Absolutely method, has been built around one goal:

To teach French culture, history and knowledge of their environment through learning French

To integrate spouses and expatriates as quickly as possible and facilitate their autonomy.

Our Courses Include:

An immersive method of 75, 100 or 150 hours in small groups of 4 to 6 people
Access to our e-learning platform
Membership to out Club Absolutely

Our Teaching Methods:

French opens doors to discoveries about the history of France and the French people.
The Absolutely team teaches it in an innovative way using games (theatre, board games, role-playing, cards, magnets, etc.),
through French culture, treasure hunts in Paris (12 different routes), cookery lessons and real-life situations.

Our method is entirely based on the CEFR, with precise linguistic objectives, following the 5 key points of language learning:

Oral comprehension

Reading comprehension

Written expression

Continuous oral expression

Oral interaction.

We have tours of Paris to give you a better understanding of the places that are important for adaptation, cookery classes and game days.

These face-to-face French language courses are designed to encourage speaking and communication skills as quickly as possible.

These courses are complemented by an e-learning platform to revise the day’s vocabulary, check that grammar/conjugation points have been understood and take an in-depth look at reading and writing.

These seemingly innocuous meals give our students the opportunity to communicate in French with people who share a similar daily life to their own!

Our Lesson Content

For each course, you have alternating ‘Cook and Learn’, ‘Play and Learn’ and ‘Stroll and Learn’ days.

For example, for a 150-hour course, you have :

3 ‘Cook and Learn’ days from 10am to 3pm at 15, Rue du Colonel Moll 75017 Paris
11 Stroll and Learn’ days from 10 am to 3 pm, 11 different tours in Paris
16 ‘Play and Learn’ days from 10 am to 3 pm at 4, Rue Faraday 75017 Paris

Each course forms a whole, with a beginning and an end, and a carefully thought-out alternation of days to ensure the best possible learning experience.

These days are not available ‘à la carte’, they form a whole to optimise language learning, speaking skills and understanding of the country where you live.

Absolutely French is much more than a school, it’s an integration centre!

There is also also a community of old and new Absolus (Our name for our students) who help each other via an internal social network (Slack) and meet up at Absolutely Soirées.

Below are the operational objectives of our courses, depending on the learner’s starting level of French.

These objectives also depend on the amount of time spent on the e-learning platform and the Absolu’s involvement.

A motivated learner will achieve these objectives in less time if they are very committed and follow all our recommendations (see Guide for good learners).

For example, a learner with an A1.2 level and 100 hours of training will achieve the A2.1 objectives and almost all of the A2.2 objectives.

Prerequisites for Our courses

Service for Businesses

Our training courses are entirely reserved for companies,
We do not offer classes to any individuals.

To take part in one of our training courses, your company (or that of your spouse) must therefore be one of our partners.

Deadlines for Course Registration :

We have groups at all levels from beginners (A0/A1.1) to advanced intermediates (B2/C1) which start 3 times a year: in September, January and March.

If you arrive during these periods, you will quickly be integrated into a group.

Outside these 3 periods, and/or if you are at a level where groups have already started, it may take longer.

We open extra groups (or you join a group that has reached your level).

A minimum of 5 learners is required to create a new group.

Admission Levels:

We cater for complete beginners (A0) right up to advanced level (B2.2).

All non-beginner learners are given a placement test before they start.

We then meet each learner individually, during a ‘Cafe Découverte’ at our premises or via zoom.

This allows us to explain the course in more detail and to check your level of spoken French, if necessary.

Once this ‘Café Découverte’ has taken place, your enrolment is validated online and we place you in a group at your level.
