Course description

The standard French course for adults is a French Immersion course for learning general French by acquiring the 4 skills for speaking, writing, listening and reading as according the recommendations from the CEFRL (Common European Framework of reference for languages). The main idea of this French Immersion Program is to practice grammar, tenses, enrich your range of vocabulary and train yourself to recognise French sounds. This is without forgetting initiation to French culture in everything that it represents.

The Standard French language course is combined with cooking classes during which you can discover French culinary art and its particularities by way of trying out different recipes (dishes and desserts) in small groups. You will of course get the chance to taste your cooking at the end of the class and with a nice glasses of local wines. This tasting is included in the price of the French Standard Course plus cooking course price.

In the cooking workshop, located close to our French school in Montpellier, you will have the opportunity to discover French gastronomic culture by preparing a starter, a main course, and a dessert, which will then be enjoyed with a glass of wine. Each session is designed to provide both technical knowledge and new taste experiences. For example, you will learn how to make macarons, peel citrus fruits and remove the segments, cut like a chef, use a piping bag, glaze meat, roast fruits and vegetables, make a syrup, caramel, or hazelnut butter…
These cooking classes are open to anyone who wants to learn or improve their cooking skills. The proposed recipes are mostly inspired by French cuisine, featuring its classic dishes. Fresh ingredients are sourced locally, mainly from the Arceaux market, a well-known market for local producers.
Students are welcomed in groups of around 12 and cook in teams of 2 or 3 at a workstation, allowing them to practice as much as possible.
These workshops offer a friendly and fun way to immerse yourself in French culture while improving your French, with a pedagogical chef, passionate and keen to share.
