Alliance Française
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Have you considered taking some sort of immersion course or in Person course at the alliance Française in your city (assuming you're in one)?
- Also if there is an Alliance Française near you, enroll her in a weekly class. Having a French teacher who is not her parent will resonate in an entirely different way.
- Alliance Française classes train towards their official French CEFR certification exams.
- Je crois qu’il y a l’Alliance Française dans le GTA je suis certaine que tu peux te trouver des partenaires avec qui pratiquer!
- My knee-jerk reaction to your question would be to look into Alliance Française.
Cons
- I think of Alliance Française as one of the most expensive options, at least in the US.
- I found the alliance française in the U.S. a bit too expensive and slow to my pace
- Two of the other programs that are mentioned a lot here are Alliance Française and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Personally, I'm not a fan of either. I found the depth of instruction to be really shallow, and even as an intermediate I really did...
- If money isn't an object, private lessons at AF are fine, but once a week may not help your goal as much.
- Did you look at Alliance Française classes, too? You don't have to take any intensive courses. They have private and small group lessons that aren't all day.

Alliance Française schools are in many cities in France where you can sign up for how ever many weeks you want. I did two months at the school this fall and loved it. 9am-1pm class and the rest of my day I could do whatever!
Parent context: I am considering the intensive courses at Alliance Francaise in Bordeaux right now. Would you say there is a mix of ages at the school (I'm an older student)? And did you feel they did a good job of placing you at the right course level? Reply: I think I was placed at the right level as it wasn’t a cake walk and I was challenged everyday- but it also encouraged me to work harder. The teachers are honestly all excellent and they teach the courses IN French with French instruction which makes it even easier to try and flip your brain in French mode.
I had a great experience and plan to return to complete through B level learning as I genuinly felt I gained A LOT at this school. Way more than any Duolingo or app. I am also a grown adult so while langauge learning is supposed to be more difficult to retain I think the school strikes a nice balance.
