We also offer one-day Immersion classes throughout each session. These courses represent six hours of intensive work within one subject area and are geared toward conversation with reviews of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The cost is $150 and includes lunch and materials. Advanced payment is needed to retain reservation. To be eligible for a refund, students must contact the office at least 24 hours prior to the Immersion course.
Students who are new to the Alliance Française but who have taken French courses before or have spent time in a French speaking country must take an informal placement test at the time of registration. This test can be done in person during registration or can be taken online, by clicking on the AF Frames logo. In order to ensure a more accurate placement, the online placement test will be followed by a quick interview with a French instructor who will recommend a class.
