Alliance Française Bordeaux Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Alliance Française Bordeaux Nouvelle-Aquitaine is based at 126 rue Abbé de l’Épée in Bordeaux. It offers intensive and more extended French programmes. A distinctive feature of its timetable is that learners can see how workshops fit around their general language study. That makes the Bordeaux programme worth considering for someone who knows which part of French needs extra practice.

Building a week around a language skill

The super-intensive format combines general French classes with additional sessions in conversation and written French, with phonetics available as an option. Conversation workshops provide a reason to speak and respond beyond the core lessons. Written French workshops give separate time to the work of composing texts. Phonetics offers another focus for someone more concerned with understanding the sounds of French or being understood when speaking.

Studying at the Bordeaux centre

The Alliance publishes its workshops individually as well as showing them in a combined timetable. Students can compare the level, days and format of a particular workshop with their main course before committing to a study plan. The campus address is also the reference point for the centre’s reception. When checking schedules, select the in-person Bordeaux option if the aim is to attend on rue Abbé de l’Épée.
