Intensive academic year French course

This French language program focus on developing oral and written expression and comprehension skills and prepare for the TCF, DELF and DALF exams. This Intensive academic year French course is open to all levels of French, from complete beginner to advanced. Completely beginner students must respect a course entry schedule (a date at the start of the month – full schedule to download) but for all other levels from false beginner, it is possible to start a course any Monday of the year.

The Intensive academic year French course is focused on developing oral and written expression and comprehension skills. The objective of the course is to allow students to become autonomous in the use of French, which requires the acquisition of grammar, vocabulary, and good practice in oral communication to fully understand… and above all, to make yourself understood clearly when you express yourself in French.

The French language course offers learning and improvement of French using authentic educational materials: press articles, advertisements, extracts from literary or specialized works, songs, videos, etc. The course also include educational outings (“sorties pédagogiques”) which are part of the curriculum of these courses and allow students to practice their French in real situations outside the classroom, in the Parisian everyday life. To progress consistently, students must be diligent and participate regularly and actively in classes.

The course is aimed at all international students, whatever their level of initial French, who wish to acquire and perfect their skills in spoken and written French to prepare for the TCF, DELF and DALF exams and thus integrate a university or a higher business school.

For students wishing to take the DALF or the DELF exam, the course includes exam preparation lessons, with two afternoon classes per week focused on DELF and DALF exam preparation.

Depending on the students’ objectives and their initial level of French, this Intensive academic year French course can thus include an intensive French course of 20 to 35 hours per week, and a DALF or DELF preparation course of 4 or 8 weeks.

Contact us to tell us your objectives and your level of French and we will send you one or more long term course program proposals.

The 10 must-see places in Paris

Paris, the capital of France and the City of Light, is renowned for its timeless charm, romance, and iconic landmarks. With a rich history that spans centuries, the city boasts an array of majestic monuments that inspire awe and capture the imaginations of visitors from around the world. From architectural marvels to cultural landmarks, here are 10 must-see places in Paris that showcase the grandeur and beauty of the City of Light.

The 10 must-see places in Paris

Eiffel Tower:
No visit to Paris is complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of France and a masterpiece of iron architecture. Undoubtedly the most famous symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower dominates the city’s skyline. Ascend to its summit for breathtaking panoramic views or admire its intricate iron lattice from the Champ de Mars. This architectural masterpiece, erected in 1889, embodies the spirit of Paris and is a testament to human ingenuity. Confirmed by students from the ACCORD language school, surely the number 1 of the 10 must-see places in Paris!

Louvre Museum:
A true treasure trove of art and history, the Louvre Museum is a must-visit for any art enthusiast. Home to the enigmatic Mona Lisa, the museum houses a vast collection spanning thousands of years. Marvel at masterpieces like the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo as you stroll through its opulent halls. The Louvre Museum is a cultural gem that should not be missed. Confirmed without hesitation by students from the ACCORD language school, Le Louvre is the number 2 of the 10 must-see places in Paris.

Notre-Dame Cathedral:
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the Notre-Dame Cathedral leaves visitors in awe with its stunning stained glass windows, imposing gargoyles, and ornate sculptures. Despite the tragic fire in 2019, Notre-Dame remains a symbol of Gothic architecture and French history.

Arc de Triomphe:
Nestled at the western end of the renowned Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe is a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte’s military achievements. Ascend to the top for a spectacular view of the city’s avenues radiating outward and witness the Eternal Flame honouring the unknown soldiers.

Sacré-Cœur Basilica:
Perched atop Montmartre hill, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city. Admire its Roman-Byzantine architecture and breathtaking mosaics before soaking in the panoramic views of Paris from its grand steps. And don’t forget to visit the Musée de Montmartre, a hidden gem of a museum for those in the know! Montmartre is for sure one of the must-see places in Paris where students from the ACCORD school like to meet, on the Place du Tertre, to have a drink or to be drawn by a caricaturist.

Palace of Versailles:
Just outside Paris lies the opulent Palace of Versailles, a testament to French monarchy’s grandeur with its lavish gardens and grand halls. Explore its lavish halls decorated with intricate details, stroll through the manicured gardens, and relish the splendour that once housed French kings and queens.

Centre Pompidou:
For contemporary art enthusiasts, the Centre Pompidou is a must-see. With its futuristic architecture and vibrant artistic displays, this cultural centre hosts a vast collection of modern and contemporary masterpieces, including works by Picasso, Dalí, and Warhol.

Musée d’Orsay:
Housed in a former railway station, the Musée d’Orsay is a treasure trove of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Admire masterpieces by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh as you wander through its beautifully curated galleries.

Sainte-Chapelle:
A true architectural gem, Sainte-Chapelle enchants visitors with its stunning stained glass windows, which tell biblical stories in intricate detail. Be prepared to be transported to a world of ethereal beauty as the sunlight filters through the vibrant hues of the glass.

Père Lachaise cemetery:
The cemetery is home to famous people and equally famous graves. Some of the tombstones are recognised as “historical monuments” so have listed status. It’s like being in a museum! One of the famous names is Jim Morrison from The Doors. For sure one of the must-see places in Paris, and the number 1 for all who love the music of the DOORS.

Paris is a place of enchantment, where history, art, and romance intertwine to captivate students coming to Paris to learn French in France at ACCORD language school.

Long-Term French Courses in France – Learn French in Paris

Long-term French courses in France are designed for students who want to learn French over a longer period and improve all four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), prepare for a French exam or prepare for higher education in France. The duration of these courses can be one term, one semester or one academic year, but it can also be just one or two months.

ACCORD French language school in Paris offers a wide range of long-term French courses, whether you need to learn French for private or professional reasons, or to start or continue higher education studies in France.

Starting Dates: Long-Term French courses at ACCORD language school are open all year round and students can start a course any Monday if they are not complete beginners (starting dates for complete beginners: one starting date beginning of each month – Contact us to receive the course dates).

Intensity and duration: The number of course hours of the Long-Term French Courses in France range from 20 to 46 lessons per week and therefore vary in intensity and duration:

You can choose between two semi-intensive courses of 20 lessons per week and 7 intensive courses of 26 to 46 lessons per week. Three course programs to prepare for French exams (DELF, DALF, Abitur, ILS, GCSE and A/AS levels) are also offered, from 34 to 38 lessons per week.

For those who want or need to significantly improve their written French, a course of 38 lessons per week is offered, with three afternoon lessons dedicated solely to written French and grammar.

For those who want or need to improve their oral communication, an oral communication course of 34 lessons per week is offered, with two afternoon lessons solely dedicated to oral comprehension and oral expression.

Total flexibility guaranteed: no ACCORD French language program requires you to follow the same course throughout your stay and you can decide at any time to add additional lessons or change programs.

For example, you can register for a term (i.e. 12 weeks) in an intensive course of 26 lessons per week and ask at any time to add lessons in writing and grammar, for example, or oral communication to this course. You will only have to pay the small difference in price between the course you registered for and the more intensive course which includes these writing-grammar lessons. And you can do this for two or three weeks only, if you wish. You can of course choose oral communication lessons and not only take grammar writing lessons.

You can also, if you wish, change your course program by choosing to follow, for example, the DELF preparation course for the last 4 weeks of your stay. This time again, you will only have to pay the small difference in price between the course for which you registered and this DELF exam preparation course.

On the last day of their stay at ACCORD French Language School, each student is given a certificate indicating the duration and level of the course(s) taken, based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

If you do not know which French language course to choose, do not hesitate to contact us and ask us to make you program proposals and their prices. So you can decide with complete peace of mind which course you are going to register for to start your stay in France… knowing that you can add additional lessons at any time, and for a very low price.

French language course for beginner in France

How do I select a high quality French language course for beginner in France?

Selecting a high quality French language course for beginner in France involves careful consideration of various factors to ensure an effective and enjoyable learning experience.
Here’s a guide to help you to select the best French language course for beginner in France for you:

Define Your Goals
Clearly outline your French language learning objectives. Whether it’s basic conversational skills, travel preparation, or a foundation for more advanced studies in France or in your country, knowing your goals will guide your course selection. For example, if you want to pursue university studies in France, you will need to choose a course that will allow you to prepare for a French exam. If you want to take a course to make the most of your holiday in France, then a semi-intensive French language course will be sufficient. To determine your choice of French language course, do not hesitate to contact us.

Choose a Qualité FLE Accredited School
Look for a French language school that is accredited by recognized language education organisations such as “Qualité FLE”. Accreditation ensures that the language school meets established standards for quality instruction and premises. ACCORD Paris French language school is accredited “Qualité FLE” since 2007, and with the highest marks in all domains (French courses, premises, teachers…).

Structured Curriculum
Check if the French language course for beginners offers a structured curriculum specifically designed for beginners. A well-organized curriculum will cover essential grammar, vocabulary, and conversational basics, providing a solid foundation. Ensure the course starts at the beginner level and offers clear progression to higher levels.

Classes and Levels of French
Make sure the school guarantees open classes for the complete beginner level. A language school like ACCORD Paris guarantees classes for complete beginners with a starting dates’ calendar published on its website, which is a guarantee that classes for complete beginners will open at the announced dates. These starting dates for complete beginners are also published on line on each French course page on the ACCORD Paris website.

Interactive Learning Methods
Look for a French course for beginner that incorporates interactive learning methods. Activities, games, and real-life scenarios can make the learning experience engaging and help beginners grasp concepts more effectively. This is ACCORD’s teaching method, used for 35 years, and based on the use of authentic teaching materials, such as newspaper and magazine articles.

Cultural Integration
Choose a French language course for beginner that integrates cultural elements into the curriculum. Understanding French culture alongside language learning enhances the overall experience and provides context for language use. Included in the educational program of the ACCORD school are “educational outings” which allow students to follow part of their course outside the classroom and to practice in “real life” what they learn in class.

Progress Assessments
Check if the French course includes regular progress assessments. Assessments help beginners track their development, identify areas for improvement, and ensure they are on the right track with their language learning journey.

Additional Support Services
Inquire about any additional support services offered by the language school. Beginners may benefit from extra workshops, or tutoring sessions to supplement their learning as well as assistance to select and book an accommodation. The ACCORD school offers you lessons dedicated to written French, grammar, and/or oral communication. You can decide to add these additional lessons at any time because the organization of the school is very flexible. Tutoring is also offered at the end of the day.

If you look for a French language course for beginner in Paris, better ask the school for an accommodation in a selected Parisian host family, with half board. Family accommodation with half board (breakfast and dinner every day) will be the best way for you to put into practice what you have learned in class. You will find that a stay with a host family will allow you to progress even more quickly.

Location Convenience
Consider the location of the language school. Choose a school that is conveniently located, making it easy for beginners to attend classes and explore the city, fostering a positive and stress-free learning experience. Located in the lively 15^th arrondissement, and nearby the Eiffel Tower, the ACCORD French language school is located in a safe and very lively environment at the same time.

By considering these factors, beginners can find a French language course for beginner in France that not only meets their immediate learning needs but also sets the stage for a successful language-learning journey.

Book a French AS-A Level Exam Preparation in France at the ACCORD Paris French Language School

Time flies and in a flash it will be time for you to take your exams whether it be for your AS-Levels, A-Levels, Highers or university. Do you feel like you could do with some extra work brushing up your French language skills before exam day? Use your half term to visit ACCORD language school in Paris to freshen up your French, soak up the local culture and give yourself the edge.

French AS-A Level Exam Preparation

Revising for an AS-A level French exam may seem worrying, but it is by preparing as best as possible that you will no longer have any fear. Practicing exam questions and French vocabulary can help you pass this exam in the best conditions.

Speaking and listening struggles

Do you struggle to keep up when you hear a French person speaking? Or maybe reacting quickly whilst speaking is tricky for you. You’re not alone. Speaking and listening come a lot easier when you’re taken out of your comfort zone and placed in a situation where you’re completely surrounded by the language itself. And there’s no escape from French at ACCORD! You’re in Paris, the staff all speak French and even thought the students come from all over the world, the only language they can all communicate in is French. There’s no way you of escaping into your mother tongue. Your brain will be forced to start thinking in French and before you know it, you’ll be rattling away fluently and naturally when taking a French AS-A Level Exam Preparation.

Confidence boost

Are you someone who doesn’t enjoy exams and gets nervous beforehand? Again, you’re not alone. According to Ofqual, 16.4% of students described themselves as “highly test anxious” in a major student of 14-16 year olds. It’s not that you can’t do it; it’s that the anxiety makes you think you can’t do it. But you can… There’s nothing quite like a little confidence boost to make you realise that anything is possible and although it won’t clear your test anxiety, it should give you a little peace of mind before you go into your exam.

An AS-A Level Exam Preparation in France at ACCORD language school will give you the confidence that you can nail that oral exam and you can use the third person subjunctive like a pro! We can’t do anything about your nerves come exam day, but we can give you the confidence that you have the skills in French!

One-to-one requirements

Is there one specific area that you’re really struggling with in French? If you’re in a class of 30 students then it can be hard for the teacher to get around to addressing your individual issues, which means that one niggle can weigh on your mind. Knowing when to use “tu” and “vous” is a minefield, the subjunctive is a law unto itself, and conjugation can be hardcore.

At ACCORD language school, you can book one-to-one lessons with our French teachers so we can address anything that you’d like to work on, no matter how specific. You don’t have to book a full week of them, you could just take a couple of hours after your morning French lesson. Since it will just be you and the teacher, there will be no interruptions from other students. Your focus will just be on your specific subject. So put your mind at ease and put your French troubles behind you with a few one-to-one lessons at ACCORD!

ACCORD School in Paris offers French AS-A Level Exam preparation courses all year round. Just book a week or more to optimise the chance of getting the best marks for your French A Level.

AS and A Level Exam Preparation Courses

Once you have enrolled in the course, you will be sent a ‘Test de niveau’ and a questionnaire specifically about your exam needs. ACCORD’s teachers can include your needs in the afternoon lessons dedicated to exam preparation your specific requirements.

Non-UE residents – Visa information:

The ACCORD pre-enrolment certificate is valid to apply for the first time to a student visa, when the Au Pair student is still in his/her home country. This pre-enrolment document can also be used to establish the Au Pair contract at the DIRECCTE (this has to be done by your host family).

What is the procedure to obtain a Visa as an Au Pair?

To come to Paris and follow one of our French Language Courses for Au Pair you must request your visa from the CAMPUS FRANCE office and the French Consulate in your country of origin or country of residence.
