How do I determine my class level?

If you already know or speak some French, we recommend you to take a short online placement test.
We will then contact you in order to find the best class for you, depending on your needs and your availability.

How our French Session classes work?
All of the Alliance Française network’s language courses are structured according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR is the language and fluency level scale used in the European Union. It serves as the guideline for describing the level of fluency achieved by a foreign language learner.
The Alliance Française of Los Angeles offers multiple courses within each CEFR level.
Our French regular classes are 3 hours long for 8 weeks. Our curriculum is based on the textbooks Alter Ego. The Alter Ego books can be purchased by emailing us at admin@ AfdeLA.org
We also offer Conversation and Thematic classes, that are 1 hour and 3 minutes for 8 weeks.
If you need more flexibility, we also offer different and customized private classes packages.
Will you ship my textbook in time for my course?
YES! Your textbook will be shipped for free. We prioritize shipping by course start date. If you are purchasing your textbook only a few days before the start of your class, we will send you the scans of the material /pages you need for your first class.
I am enrolled and my class starts soon. What's next?
