ADULT REGULAR CLASSES – LEVELS
Do I need to have my level assessed ?
If you have never learnt French in the past, then you are a New beginner, and you don’t need any assessment.
If you did learn a bit of French then we recommend one. You will have this assessment at the Alliance and it is free of charge. This will take 25 to 30 minutes and will allow us to choose the level that is the most appropriate for you.
Beginner
Even as a total beginner, you will start speaking French from day one. Don’t worry if you feel overwhelmed ; in time you will progress.
