HOW DO I DETERMINE MY CLASS LEVEL?

If you have never taken French, we invite you to register for our Introduction or A1.1 beginner classes. If you already know or speak some French, we recommend you take our free placement test. One of our instructors will then contact you in order to find the best class for you, based on your needs and availability.
