You are a free spirit who believes in seizing the day and squeezing every last drop out of whatever life throws your way. Yes, you want to learn French, but that doesn’t mean you want to miss out on exploring Paris and meeting new people. We recommend either of the semi-intensive courses (mornings or afternoons) or the intensive French course A. That way you spend either your morning or afternoon practising your French skills in class, leaving you the rest of the day to soak up Paris and spend time with the new friends you’ve made at ACCORD.
Most ‘C’s
