How will the virtual classes work?

The class will work just like in a real classroom: with a teacher, a whiteboard, exercises to do, documents to listen to or read and discussions in French.

How to choose a level?

We are offering two different ability levels:

  • A2/B1 Intermediate
  • B2/C1 Advanced

Before choosing, be aware that the teacher will work on all 4 skills: oral production, written production, oral comprehension, written comprehension; and also: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

Therefore, the level you choose will depend on your objectives and your strengths. If you are unsure, you can take a free ability test on our school website: https://www.alpha-b.fr/test-de-niveau-de-francais/

How do I join?

We recommend that you use a computer with a set of headphones (for example, ones you might use with your phone). You can also use a phone or a tablet, but it is not as convenient.

1. When your request is approved, you will receive a confirmation email.

2. Then, several minutes before the start of your first lesson, you will receive an invitation to join the virtual class.

3. The virtual class program will ask you to verify your microphone, headphones and webcam.

4. Then you will be a part of the class
