Why learn French in Switzerland?

If you like to discover new places and cultures, Switzerland is the perfect place to study French - with a twist! The French-speaking area of Switzerland is a little bubble of French culture, but with its own unique Swiss influences. A French course in Switzerland will give you the chance to learn in full immersion, and speak French every single day, while exploring the shores of Lake Geneva and the towering Swiss alps, and sampling delicious Swiss food. You’ll delight every sense as you develop your French skills in this beautiful country!

What will I do on my French course in Switzerland?

We offer a wide range of choice on all our language courses, and French is no exception. In Switzerland, you’ll be able to tailor your course to meet your own specific needs and goals. Study at your own pace, with standard or intensive courses, or personalise your classes with one-to-one lessons to really perfect your language skills. If you want to take an official exam, our partner schools offer special preparation courses to develop your skills.
