LISTEN. SPEAK. REPEAT.
At L’ Institut de Français Nice, this isn’t just a slogan — it’s 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 don’t 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.
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.
Speak French like the locals that live there – not just within a classroom. From the moment you arrive, you will begin speaking, thinking, and living in French. Then the real world practice begins.
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. |
