We offer 3 types of Adult Group Classes:

General Classes,  Holiday Classes and Specialty Classes

All classes are held either in person or online via Zoom—each class follows one format only.

General Regular Classes

General Classes are interactive classes based on language competency levels as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).  General classes may use a textbook.

We offer 3 General Class sessions per year:

1. The Fall Session from September 8 through November 16, 2025

2. The Winter January 5 through March 15, 2026

3. The Spring Session from March 30 through June 7, 2026

General regular classes are offered in 10-week sessions and include 30, 20, 15, or 10 hours of instruction, depending on the course. 

Tuition fees: $17 per hour, with a 5% discount for early bird registrations.
Textbook (hardcopy) estimated at $60

You will need about 90 to 100 hours to complete the A1 level,  90 to 100 additional hours to complete the A2 level, and additional 180 hours to complete each of the B1, B2, and C levels.

Holidays Classes

Holiday Classes are offered between regular class sessions and meet once a week for either 60 or 90 minutes. During these sessions, we offer Conversation classes, Grammar Bootcamps and Workshops.

We currently offer three Holiday Class sessions:
– December Holiday Classes
– July Summer Classes
– August Summer Classes

Holiday Classes  run as 4-week programs, totaling 4 to 6 hours of instruction. These classes are independent of the general regular classes.

Tuition fees: $17 per hour
Please note: no discounts are applied to Holiday Classes.

Specialty Classes

Specialty classes are short, thematic classes held remotely on zoom.

Themes range from literature, art, history and music, to specific aspects of the French language, and even Francophone Cuisine. 

Some Specialty Classes are taught in English and are designed for Beginners.

Some are taught entirely in French and are designed for more advanced students.

Specialty Classes are enrolled in 2 or 4-week programs for a total of 4 hours.

Some Specialty classes are organized by Alliance Française of Raleigh.
