Have you just moved to Nantes and your child(ren) have not yet fully mastered French ? Institut Francophonie offers 2 child/adolescent formulas.
1 / In individual lessons or between brothers and sisters, we implement a specific child pedagogy: to learn always in action (with games, songs, etc). To learn for and by having fun!
We will build your schedule together according to your child's pace.
Does your trip to Nantes last only a few weeks? Offer your child(ren) an immersive and intensive linquistic experience!
Do you need specific instruction or an “à la carte” schedule? We recommend individual or mini-group lessons (from 2 to 4 participants) for friends, colleagues, couples, etc ...
Advantage: together we will determine your schedule, the pace of your learning and the content of your training, according to your needs and availability. You can choose to study general, professional or French for a specific objective (improvement of writing or speaking, French for secretarial work, oenology, etc.)
Public: for all
Goal: After a precise analysis of your needs and your objectives, we will define your training program together.
