Paris Language Schools

As renowned novelist Gustave Flaubert once said, “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to.” While we at Let's Go have absolutely no clue what he was talking about, we do know that the following are good resources for learning French.

Alliance Française: The Alliance Française offers classes for all levels, from beginner to advanced, as well as evening workshops on topics like pronunciation or written French and professional courses on Business French, Legal French, Tourism French, and Medical French for those looking to work in France long-term. Private and group lessons and self-guided learning courses using the Multimedia Resource Center are also available. (101 Bld. Raspail ☎01 42 84 90 00 www.ccfs-sorbonne.fr)
