• Levels of French

- The written and oral evaluation tests allow us to place you in a class of students corresponding to your level.
- According to this level, our head of pedagogy define your communication objectives (listening, taking part in a conversation, expressing oneself orally, reading and writing) through your level of competence (beginner, elementary, intermediate, advanced, perfection). These objectives follow a progression conformed to The Common European Framework for languages.
- The purpose of this classification is to allow you to measure your progress at every stage of your studies at our language school but also at every point in your life.

* A0 : complete beginner - A0+ : beginner

You can get a rough idea of your level of French thanks to the online knowledge test created by our pedagogy staff.
