For over 20
years, E.L.F.E
(Ecole de Langue Francais pour Etrangers)
has gained a
worldwide reputation in teaching French as a foreign language to
adults in small groups of 6
people maximum.
The school
occupies a charming 19th
century mansion house in the centre of Paris (between the famous
Moulin Rouge and Opera Garnier) at the end of a cobbled courtyard
with calm and leafy surroundings.
Our school
offers a range of general
French programmes from beginner to advanced level,
which students can join on every Monday of the year for
1 week or more.
In addition, our school has considerable experience in arranging
courses in specific
areas (business
French, French for banking and insurance, medical French, French for
diplomacy and French examination preparation) and in designing
customised group training (e.g. Study
Abroad Program for American Students).
Students
enrolled on our standard mini-group programme can choose to study for
15 hours/week (equivalent to 20 lessons of 45 minutes), or 30
hours/week (equivalent to 40 lessons of 45 minutes) for a more
intensive version.
How can one
learn a language without discovering the culture of the country where
it is spoken? Our programmes allow students to discover Paris and
French culture after their morning classes: civilisation
lessons with an excursion in Paris, cookery and wine-tasting lessons,
and cross-cultural workshops.
Discover
the daily life of a French family! Host
family accommodation is
an efficient and agreeable counterpart to the learning of a language.
Accommodation is a very important element in the success of a
language trip. We can guarantee the quality of our families in Paris
and its residential suburbs due to a rigorous selection process.
