how to get started?

I am ready - how do I get started?

Step 1: Take a free placement test to assess your language level (if you are a true beginner of French, you can skip this step). Start here!

Step 2: Based on our recommendation, pick a class that fits your schedule from the list below. We offer 3 types of classes:

Classes using the “Cosmopolite” textbook curriculum for those who feel more comfortable with a structured learning (coded in green)
Classes based on questions/requests from students in class (called “Specialty classes”) for those who enjoy a bit more spontaneity! (coded in yellow)
“Pop up classes” / short temporary classes focusing on specific topics such as French conversation (“Les Petites Conversations”), grammar (“Advanced Grammar”), translation, politics, art, history etc.… (coded in blue)

Step 3: Register! Sign up takes place online. You can pay with your credit/debit card or via bank transfer (Zelle only). We also accept check, which is our preferred method of payment (mailed or brought to the AFC office not later than the first day of class). Class sessions begin every 8 weeks to suit different paces and to fit all lifestyles.
