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 or contacting us to determine the best starting point for you, ensuring you join the class that best matches your proficiency level.
