Have you ever wanted to study or work in a French-speaking country? Then we have just the thing for you! We offer challenging, lively courses in French with native-speakers. You will improve your French skills in small groups. Regardless of whether you would like to sign up for 50 hours in two weeks or 100 hours in four weeks, we have the right course for you!

Special feature

You won't learn French just in the classroom! For example, you can practice your French in a playful atmosphere and learn about cusine at the Cooks´ Workshop. You can improve your listening comprehension and gain new insights into French culture with the French films shown in class and the cinema. And you can learn even more about the French culture at the weekly international gaming night. Or pratice your conversion skills during a relaxing walk or picnic in the park.

And that's not even the half of it! Learn French and explore the cultural history of Germany that Weimar has to offer. In collaboration with the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, we are introducing a new supplementary feature: the museum project. This will give you the opportunity to practice your language skills on site in one of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar's museums, for example the art collection of the castle, the Park Cave or the Roman House. Join us on this journey of discovery, and improve your French and your cultural knowledge at the same time!
