LISTEN. SPEAK. REPEAT.

At L’ Institut de Français Nice, this isnt just a slogan — its the method behind real fluency.

Listen – Your mornings start with focused, structured input. You absorb real, natural French — its rhythm, sound, and structure — guided by expert instructors who teach with clarity and purpose.

Speak – Right after, you bring it to life. With the help of a dedicated Repeater, you turn what you just heard into real speech — sharpening your pronunciation, flow, and confidence in real time.

Repeat – In the afternoon, you will reinforce it all through guided repetition and interactive animation” sessions. You dont just remember the language — you master it.

This is how fluency works: Daily input. Daily Output.

Listen. Speak. Repeat.

Simple. Powerful. Proven.

DAILY SCHEDULE

Mornings

Expert-led classes in the morning focus on swift comprehension with a teacher and practice afterwards with a “Repeater” who will help reinforce the skills of what you’ve just learned.

🔍 9:00-11:00 Class 🔍 11:15-12:45 Repeat Sessions

Afternoons

Animated learning sessions brought to life in a fun and interactive group environment. “Real life” situation training skills that will get you confidently speaking French in a matter of weeks.

Find Your Level and Jump In. Before you arrive, you’ll be evaluated in your French comprehension with a quick placement test by email. Then on your first day, we’ll confirm your level with a short in-person assessment—including listening, writing, and a one-on-one conversation. If at any point you feel you’re placed in the wrong level, we’ll make adjustments—simple as that. Our program is open to anyone 16 and up, and students typically range from 16 to 50+. No matter what level you’re starting at, you’ll be supported in your journey every step of the way. We offer 4 levels to match your current skills and get you speaking confidently:

Beginner For those with little or no French experience.
Intermediate low You know some basics and can say a few things.
Intermediate high You’re able to hold conversations and want to improve fluency.
Advanced You speak fairly well and want to sharpen your accuracy and flow.
