Online Courses
Learn French at home and join our online community!
Our Adult French courses have temporarily moved to an online format until further notice. We offer both Online Group or Private Tuition packages. As student of Alliance Française de Sydney, you will join our online community of teachers and students for practising your writing and grammar skills outside of the classroom. Courses will be provided via Google Meet and students and teachers will also exchange through the Apolearn platform.

Our
e-learning plan is based on three tools:
|
1) A video conference tool, Google Meet, for web meetings allowing you to see, listen and engage in exchanges with your teacher. |
|
|
|
|
|
3) A convenient online French keyboard, that will assist you with written work and typing accented characters. Simply type, copy and
paste. |

How do face-to-face courses differ from this e-learning plan?
To us, it is equivalent. In some cases, language appropriation and the learning process are even more successful with e-learning! It is
important to note that an online environment does require an aspect of self-learning, including self-discipline, dedicated time put aside
for classes and homework, and a level of dedication to your classes. We hope that you will have a great experience with us, and that in
time, the current climate here (and globally) will improve.
