Daniela Jijon GReally great place to study french! Aurelie was the best teacher and guided us throughout the program and got us to a pretty high level in a matter of months. I definitely recommend this place!Nicole LeeThe team has been really great at making sure their students are happy! I initially booked an in-person class that went a little too slow for me and swapped to online classes for a month to test that out instead. I was much happier with my online classes but was worried about switching and not getting refunded. The team reached out to refund and make sure I was getting value out of my classes which is the most important thing. I'm excited to take my DEF with this school!Janis HamiltonI can highly recommend Learn French in Vancouver as a way to build your French conversational skills and confidence. After a few years studying French I was ready to start applying it in a "real-life" conversational setting. That is exactly what I found here. Aurelie, my teacher, has the most wonderful way of guiding us while encouraging and creating an ease among us all. It is fun, upbeat and instructive. I'd say to anyone- go ahead, sign up. This is a really good experience.Seren KosSalut! I've been together with Learn French for four months and it has been an enriching experience for me. Our instructor Eloïse is fun, incredibly supportive and enthusiastic, which greatly motivates the class. In addition, every instructor in the course is extremely passionate about both teaching this beautiful language and explaining in depth the French culture that contributes to this process. While the course provides a solid foundation, I also recognize the importance of personal effort to master this challenging but rewarding journey. I'm happy to choose to Learn French and thankful for guiding us on this exciting language-learning journey! Un grand merci!Jerry XueMarion was an amazing professeur! We had 8 private classes with her and she is very patient and kind. Would love to have her again if we come back!Jenny WI had a wonderful experience with Learn French in Vancouver! My teacher was Marion and she did a great job of explaining the concepts and ensuring a balance between going through exercises and providing opportunities for us to practice conversational French. I learned so much in my 8 week session, and I would highly recommend!Rampreet KaurI learned french with Justine 😊. She was super friendly and professional at the same during my french classes. I learned most of the difficult concepts very easily because of her teaching style. She helped me clear all my doubts and encouraged me throughout my french learning journey. I had a wonderful time learning french with her.Pinar YaylagulSalut a tous, I am getting my online classes with Ms. Aurelie (Lilly). Always a fun, smiling, courteous and engaging lesson with lots of helpful corrections. She is supportive, promotive during the classes. I like her sense of humor, though.

FAQs: Your Path to Clarity
How long does it take to learn French?
The time it takes to learn French varies depending on several factors, including the amount of time dedicated to studying, your ability to learn new languages, and the desired level of proficiency. We have developed a program called “My French Transformation” that enables students with no prior knowledge of French to effectively communicate and write in the language within 6 months.
How can I know which level to join?
If you have previously learned French and prefer to start the program at Level 2 or higher, we recommend taking a placement test and scheduling a call with our teachers to determine the best starting point for you.
Both the placement test and the consultation call are free of charge, ensuring you join the class that best matches your proficiency level. Please note that due to our small group class format, we do not offer refunds. All registrations are final.
What materials are provided in the group classes, and are they included in the price?
All materials are included in the price, designed to complement and enhance your classroom learning experience. During your studies, you will have access to:
- Online Platform: Includes recordings of all classes, homework, and additional resources.
- Weekly Video Challenges: Provides opportunities to practice French between classes.
- Special Invitations: Access to exclusive student-only events.
- Immersive Resources: A list of top French movies, series, books, and podcasts to help you immerse yourself in the French language and culture.
What is the maximum number of students per group class?
To ensure personalized attention and effective learning, we aim to limit our group classes to a maximum of 12 students.
How long does it take to prepare for the TEF exam?
For students with no prior knowledge of French, we recommend first enrolling in the 6-month ‘French Transformation’ program to build a strong foundation in the language. After completing this program, students can then take our TEF preparation course, which lasts 3 months to reach CLB 4 or 6 months to reach CLB 7.
To achieve the best results, we advise students to attend all live classes and complete all assigned homework. Additionally, we provide extra resources for those who are fully committed to their French learning journey. Immersing yourself for a full year by watching French movies, reading French books, and listening to French podcasts daily will further enhance your proficiency and readiness for the TEF exam.
How do I prepare for the TEF exam after completing the "My French Transformation" program?
After completing the “My French Transformation” program, you can enroll in our TEF Preparation course. If your goal is to reach level CLB4 we advise you to join our 3-month TEF Preparation program, if your goal is to reach level CLB7 we advise you to join our 6-month program.
