IDIOM French Language School

IDIOM is a private, independent French-language school located at 4bis avenue Mirabeau in Nice. IDIOM is exclusively an adult institution, meaning students are not placed in classrooms with teenagers except on specific programmes such as the Abitur and Matura preparation course, which is open to students from age 17.

French for adults on Avenue Mirabeau

The course catalogue is among the most varied of any Nice French school. Standard instruction is available as a semi-intensive group course at 20 lessons of 45 minutes per week, an intensive group course at 30 lessons per week, or as an intensive mini-group format capped at four participants for a more concentrated experience. A French for Adults 55+ programme combines language learning with organised afternoon excursions to Monaco, Antibes, Cannes and Nice's historic districts. Specialist group courses include Business French for B1-level and above learners, and a French Teachers' Intensive course for B2-level instructors. Exam preparation programmes cover DELF, DALF, TCF and DFP qualifications through a combined individual and group format. Individual intensive courses, afternoon private lesson add-ons, and online individual sessions round out the offer.

An adult who prefers to speak frequently in class can compare the mini-group with a larger intensive course. The activities programme for older learners adds a different consideration, since some of the time together is spent using French around Nice.
