Dominique's classes are great fun and she has some fantastic ideas for getting everyone involved in class, without anyone feeling embarrassed, no matter what their ability level is. I would recommend Dominique's French classes and the Modern Language School in a heartbeat. The classes are so well prepared and you gain confidence with every lesson. I wish I'd done this years ago! When I started classes with Dominique I only had vague memories from school French lessons, going back over 40 years, but now I'm able to talk to people in France about all sorts of topics, from shopping, eating out, asking for directions, talking about the weather etc., without the embarrassment of not being understood and I know more about their culture now too, which helps enormously. If I could give 6 stars I would, and I recommend the classes to anyone thinking about learning a new language or just brushing up go for it, it's great!

The courses range from beginners 1 all the way up to advanced. Each course last 10 weeks with one three hour session a week - mainly during the evenings. Although, some courses are offered on a Saturday morning. Average class sizes are around 10 people. Cost of courses are pretty cheap at £5 an hour. One course offers 130 hours of teaching. The Alliance also has a library with a range of French dvd's, novels and newspapers - awesome! You want even more? Then you can attend the book club or watch a scheduled film with others. Highly recommend the courses here - I have completed Beginners 1 and starting Beginners 2.

The Alliance offers classes in French at varying levels - from beginner's basics to complex classes for those who are almost fluent. They also host cultural events from plays in French to screenings of French cinema, as well as lots of one-off educational events. The offices themselves feel a little schoolish - lots of flyers and posters everywhere - but this is a learning environment and it is very welcoming. The staff are really really lovely and make you feel really welcome - even when you attempt to speak French terribly badly and embarrass yourself. They are patient and interesting and go out of their way to help you out. Tres bien.

The classes are a mix of general conversation about recent activities and interests and a topic for the week.
