I took a three-month intensive french course here and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their french, regardless of their current level. The course is well-designed and the engaging classroom activities made learning enjoyable. After years of struggling to improve my french to no avail, I finally feel a sense of progress and am now more comfortable, particularly in speaking and writing, after studying here.

I spent a month at this school to improve my French, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were super friendly, the classes well-structured, and the teacher very encouraging. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn French in a welcoming environment.

I spent the first week of a 1-month holiday in France at Fonelia to 'reactivate' French I had learnt at school 40 years ago. I joined an intensive class, doing 3 hours 9:30-12:30 each day. It was a fantastic week! I learnt a lot. The teachers were great and my classmates were fun. I really hope to return again, this time for longer than just one week.

I took intensive french classes here for almost 10 months and i can say this is a great school. The professors are really good at their jobs and they are also kind. I was able to pass delf in 6 months thanks to them. The administration is also really great and communicative. All in all it was a great experience!

I did an intensive course in 2023 for about 5.5 months and I was able to progress from level A1 to level B2. The course is very complete, structured and has experienced and highly qualified teachers. The course is provide only in French which helps speed up learning. The materials used were clear and a great support when I studied at home.
