French Compact A1

The compact A1 course runs over 8 weeks and provides a gradual introduction to French. You build your skills step by step: greetings, orientation, making appointments, shopping, or holding short conversations.

All skills are trained in a slower pace with more time for practice and review. Pair work and group activities make learning engaging and sustainable.

In the LcL language lab, you strengthen your pronunciation and rhythm. The format suits working professionals who prefer evening or afternoon lessons.
