The classes offered are taught in a conversational setting by native French-speaking instructors. All the instructors are personable and engaging. The classes are true immersion classes, where 95% of the class is taught and spoken in French. Group conversation is encouraged and is very helpful to learning the language. The pace of classes were perfect for me in that I was always able to ask questions and get answers so I fully understood the concept and vocabulary. As a new student to Alliance Francaise, I had taken college French for 3 years. However, I feel that after taking just one course at Alliance Francaise, I have a better ability to understand and converse in French. Alliance Francaise also offers exceptional resources to students and members, including a great onsite library of books and DVD's and access to countless seminars and social events relating to the French culture and language. Also, the online 'Culturetheque' that is offered by the school has an extensive library of online French books, magazines, games, videos, etc. All of these resources are invaluable tools for learning the language and immersing into French culture. For adults and children, I would highly recommend Alliance Francaise.
