We advise that you reach an intermediate level before you start preparing for the TEF exam.

We also recommend studying at least an extra 10 hours per week outside your live classes during these first 6 months. After completing this course and extra practice at home, you will be able to start preparing for the TEF exam levels CLB4 or 5.
- If you already have strong foundations in French and feel ready to prepare for the exam.
Why learn with us ?
‘Transformation’ In Their Words
Completed the intensive beginner 1+2 course and it was awesome. Lea was very approachable and helpful (both in class and outside of class via email). I've learnt a lot in the past month, thank you Lea!
Great experience so far. I'm looking forward to continuing with conversation following the completion of all the lessons. So far I have done half in person with Lea and half via Skype (due to COVID19) with Coralie. Both teachers were fantastic! The flexibility, pacing and excellent teachers make this a must recommend for anyone wanting to learn or improve their French, in Vancouver 🙂
Yasmina is a fantastic teacher - knowledgeable, attentive and patient. She listens to the needs of his students, and draws from her extensive teaching experience to develop a tailored, very effective style.During private lessons, we focus on my everyday speaking and listening skills through casual conversation. Occasionally, we shift to traditional grammar drills. This method is effective and fun for me - times slips by during our meetings. In her group classes, she follows a more structured, yet still very engaging teaching system. They provided me with valuable grammar practice, since it's the most challenging aspect of French for me (as I suspect it is for many others).I am really satisfied with our progress so far. I am constantly getting better at expressing myself and understanding phrases in French TV shows or movies. Yasmina has made learning my 3rd language very fun and rewarding.Merci, Yasmina! (Et...je pense qu'il y a de la vie sur d'autre planètes.)
Lea is an awesome teacher. I learned so much with her as the class was catered to my speed and progress. Love her enthusiasm to teach and appreciate her flexibility in helping me with my goals for learning the language. I highly recommend taking classes with her! Thank you Lea for helping my progress in french, always being encouraging, and for the great advice and recommendations for my move to Paris 🙂
Teachers are passionate, friendly and patient. It's a bit fast paced program but i think you need to give time going over the past lessons over and over again until it sinks into your head.
I have always wanted to learn French because I work in an industry where it is widely used. I speak other languages so I hoped it would be easier to learn another one. Lola is an excellent teacher! She is very patient and goes at my pace. She has made the learning experience very enjoyable and informative that I have decided to move on to level 2! Thank you Lola!
My teacher is Eloise, every class is amazing. Always informative, kind, and on track. Every class has started and ended right on time, the home work and resources are great and the small class sizes make for the perfect learning environment. There's one on one help with pronunciation and everyone's questions get a proper response.
I took the group level 1+2 beginner French class with Lea. It was a great experience and a good introduction to the essentials. Lea is a patient and wonderful teacher.
Great experience with Coralie teaching us. She is a very positive teacher who made the lessons clear and enjoyable.
Professional instructor, great pace, and I appreciated the group dynamic and structure. I would recommend A1+A2 if you're looking to quickly establish a good foundation for future french learning. Bon courage!
Took beginner class with Coralie. Content very structured. Good introduction to French and friendly learning atmosphere.
I joined an intensive French class for beginners.Lea was a great teacher, she made French easy and fun to learn.I loved the format and the small size of the group.
I have taken a private class with Clémence, who was very friendly and energetic. While we mainly focused on grammar, exercises, and short articles, we also had conversations that I found informative and fun. Highly recommended.
I signed for level 1 + 2 class with Coralie. It was great. Coralie makes learning French really fun as it should always be and shares a lot of good tips and stories behind the languages. I would highly recommend Learn French in Vancouver to anyone who's hoping start learning this beautiful language.
Starting from scratch, I did the four-week intensive course with Lea and I learned a ton of French. She's a great teacher, very patient, covers most of the A1 material but also does her own exercises to make learning fun!. I'm going to continue taking classes with her to develop my French skills. Thanks so much!
