Französischkurs für Anfänger oder Fortgeschrittene: Welche Kursmodelle gibt es?
French course for beginners or advanced learners: which course models are available?
There are a number of differences within the individual French courses, mainly in terms of focus, intensity and objectives. A short course where you attend lessons every day or a few days a week is usually referred to as an intensive course, while a French course for beginners or advanced learners, which extends over a period of a few months and where you have lessons one evening a week, is usually a standard course.
Diploma courses are another form of "French course for beginners or advanced learners". Such courses prepare you for the DELF or DALF exams, or for the telc and BULATS tests. Specialized courses are also offered, covering a wide variety of topics. This could be business French, for example. There are also special courses for children and young people, for senior citizens or specifically for women, as well as weekend courses or combination courses where you can cook and learn French at the same time, for example. The courses on offer are very varied and offer many surprises.
Furthermore, language courses are also offered during language stays, which, as at language schools here in Switzerland, can take a variety of forms. This includes individual lessons or private lessons. A French course for beginners or advanced learners can also take place in a combination of individual lessons and group lessons, small group and conversation course or conversation course and individual lessons. Not every school offers all options, so it is always worth asking the individual schools directly for detailed information. Combinations of group lessons and online courses are also possible, as is, of course, attending an online French course alone.
