Course Overview

Online French Levels 9&10 is a Pre-Intermediate French course for students who have been studying the French language for a while. This is an intensive French course allowing you to take two French levels in 10 weeks and progress more quickly. Online French Levels 9&10 requires that you have previously studied French Level 8 or a course of at least 96 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then take our quick French language level test here, or check our level chart.

Our Online French language classes take place via Zoom with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. The interactive lessons emulate our face-to-face classes, and via teacher screen-sharing, students are able to experience a live classroom environment. From vocabulary activities and covering grammar points on the white board, to listening exercises, file sharing and ‘break-out rooms’ to practise speaking with classmates, students can learn without leaving the comfort of their homes. Take a look at an example of one of our online classes in this video.
