The course develops all key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We work on grammar, expand vocabulary, and learn to use French freely and confidently in real-life situations.
Depending on the age group, offline lessons last from 1.5 to 2 hours and take place in a lively, inspiring atmosphere. Once a week, we meet online to review the material, reinforce new knowledge, and practice speaking. This format combines live interaction with regular practice, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
During the lessons, we use a variety of materials — audio, video, and interactive exercises.
