Who are our programs for?

The Language Passports are intended for adult beginners in French language learning who hold at least a secondary school diploma.
Whether you are an absolute beginner who has never studied French or a false beginner wishing to strengthen your foundations, our programs are tailored for you.
Basic familiarity with digital tools is recommended to make the most of the online learning experience.

A pathway tailored to your level and goals

Our Passports form a coherent learning journey that helps you master the fundamentals of French and achieve specific objectives.

Passport A1: Your introduction to French through self-study

The Passport A1 is the perfect starting point for complete beginners (strict A0).
This fully online, self-paced 3-month program enables you to acquire essential grammar and vocabulary at your own rhythm.
The goal is to reach a solid foundation to continue toward more advanced levels.

Passport A2: Reach the A2 level required for administrative procedures

The Passport A2 is an intensive 12-week program for learners with some basic knowledge of French (A0(50) to A1).
Structured around live online classes and personalized support, it helps you reach the A2 level often required for a long-stay visa application or residence permit renewal in France.

A modern and interactive learning approach

Our teaching method is based on a communicative approach combined with efficient digital tools to ensure steady progress.

• Comprehensive resources: access online modules, self-correcting exercises, texts, videos, and a mobile app to practice daily.
• Balanced skill development: our programs work equally on comprehension (listening and reading), production (speaking and writing), and interaction.
• Continuous assessment: self-assessments, mid-term tests, and final exams allow you to monitor your progress and officially validate your level at the end of the course.
