French Language Courses in France

Institut César Langues, Montpellier:
Institut César Langues is located in the beautiful historic centre of Montpellier, the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. The calm and welcoming atmosphere of the Institute makes it the ideal place to make real progress in French; be it for business or pleasure. We offer intensive and general French, business French, exam preparation courses including DELF, CCIP and TCF as well as tailor-made French courses. Courses are available all year round. We also provide lessons in English, Spanish, Italian, German and Dutch.

Intensive French:
This immersion in the language allows you to practise your French, to rapidly get back a level you used to have and to make a lot of progress in a relatively short time. These intensive courses are perfect if you don't live in France, if you want to progress as much as possible in a minimum of time, if you want to prepare for an exam or a job interview, but also just for the pleasure of learning a language and to learn in a fun way.

Originally individual courses, you may consider "sharing" your teacher with your partner, with one or several of your friends, with your neighbour,  if you would like to learn together in small groups at more advantageaous prices. The courses are for all people wishing to learn and/or to improve his or her level in French, for personal, academic or professional reasons.

The formula
You have 15 hours of classes per week: 5 days a week, 3 hours a day (or more if you prefer). And this for 1, 2, 3 , 4 or more weeks if you choose. These courses can be taken all year round at the time of your choice.

For those who come from abroad, we recommend lodging with a French family (home stay) to immerse yourself even more during your stay in Montpellier.

French & Theme:
For all people wishing to practise French in a more intensive way and in a precise contexte: the world of wine, the universe of Nature.
For all levels: from beginners to advanced students! (A1 - C1)
The maximum number of students in a group is 5 / 6. The classes contain a minimum of 3 students.

When?
Classes from Monday to Friday. Because the courses need a special organisation, we offer the Themed French courses at special dates, mainly in Summer. (cf. dates) However, we can organise these courses on request for ready-made groups (minimum 4 people) : groups of friends, members of Wine Clubs, French courses, hiking clubs, etc. anyway for all those who are wishing to combine the learning of French with a theme.

What?
The three-hour-classes of French in the morning are developed around the theme of your choice! This means that all grammar aspects, vocabulary, syntaxe and phonetics are treated in context! Most of all though, you will be able to SPEAK French!

Every afternoon you will enjoy varied activities related to the theme of your choice. A visit of a wine domain followed by a winetasting? A hiking trip to discover the flore of the region? A biking trip to the beach through the étangs?

The activites are organized by your teachers and professionals.

In this way, the morning classes will give you the ability to understand and what's more, to speak with the guides and other professionnals during the activities. So, in the morning you'll learn, and in the afternoon, you'll practise! An ideal solution to improve your French in a relatively short time and while having fun!
