Thoroughly enjoying my French classes with AF Sydney. Relaxed, friendly and supportive learning environment, fantastic teachers, every lesson is très amusante!
- AFS Student
Since January, my experience at Alliance Française de Sydney has been absolutely delightful! I am thoroughly impressed by the high quality of the courses, and I feel genuinely welcomed every time I walk through the door. Winning tickets to their French film festival was the icing on the cake. Merci beaucoup

Bonjour! From my 3 months experience so far starting at A1.1, AF has been nothing but fantastic! Every teacher has their own little quirks and ways of teaching but they have all been very encouraging, supportive and lovely. Lots of variety in each lesson, content mixed with Kahoot games, Guess Who, Celebrity Heads etc, very innovative and fun!

The teaching quality is very high with the lessons consistently delivered with passion and a genuine interest in student progression. And the small class sizes allow for very helpful conversational exercises

Fantastic experience! Teachers were very helpful and encouraged me/helped me learn much quicker than I ever imagined!

It is an online classroom experience, rather than just online content.

The Alliance Française teachers are still the best! They are creative, friendly and above all entertaining.

I'm very impressed with the quality of teaching at AFS.

My teacher is exceptional: full of passion and experience in teaching, and empathetic towards new learners.

Our teacher creates a fun learning environment where we all feel safe to try without worrying about making a mistake. This is really important, and really rare.

The whole experience has been excellent. My teacher is exceptional, passionate, encouraging, inclusive and considerate of each individual's skill level. 

During the various 'shutdowns' in Sydney, my online classes have been particularly valuable!

I enjoy AFS for its wonderful professors, imaginative teaching and the company of my fellow students.

The ability to learn just as effectively online compared to face to face has been the highlight of my experience so far.

All the teachers I've had have been supportive of my learning through all the ups and downs of learning a second language

Having recently retired from full-time work, studying French at Alliance Française provided the perfect solution as to what to do next. 

I chose AF because of its long history in teaching French, its up to date methods, its thoroughness and the quality of the staff.

AFS offers top-quality French language instruction in a friendly and welcoming environment. Highly recommended!
