Culturally, you will learn about French customs, certain French quirks and personality traits, and you’ll discover the French lifestyle as it exists around the world!

Level A1.1 is the first sub-level of the Beginner A1 level. Beginner A1 level consists of 4 sub-levels: Level A1.1, Level A1.2, Level A1.3, and Level A1.4.

Soha is the best! I love our group of students and she really knows how to teach grammar and makes it fun… I can visibly see our class improve each session.

I enjoy the focus on getting the students actually speaking in class. Other materials are presented in the homework, so it doesn’t take away from the time in class where more active participation occurs. I wouldn’t change anything.

I liked the interaction with my peers, the skits we have to prepare in class, the readings we have to do out loud, the compositions we have do at home, and the teacher’s sense of humor.

level of interest – The 2 hours flew by.

My teacher was excellent.

Great group and L'Alliance NY representative. I now feel like I can navigate through France and communicate most of what I need to say and hear. I could not recommend this program more!

The opportunity to converse about interesting topics. I wouldn’t change anything.

We are so happy with the teachers my children have had at L’Alliance New York. They are experienced, calm, loving with the children and they create a wonderful atmosphere for learning.

Everything. Above all, the teacher, the skill level of student participants, the dialogue and the instructional expertise. I wouldn’t change anything.

How easy it is for conversational interchange among all the students. The group is small enough and not intimidating, so that everyone gets his or her chance to talk.

What I liked most about the class is that it’s very inclusive, so nobody feels left out… Estele makes it fun and interactive.

The emphasis on speaking helped with my confidence.
