Where can I learn French in Geneva?

Hi All, 


 


Most likely an old topic, but I can't seem to find a thread. Decided to start learning French to fit in around here. Pretty much a complete beginner, any suggestions on the best place? 


 


Thanks a Lot

I don't know the two posters above, but I know from experience that a private teacher can be an effective and fun way to learn a language. So if that suits you go for it.


But if you're looking for more classroom-style teaching, you might want to have a look at Ecole-Club Migros.They have French classes (various levels, various schedules) at Rive and Balexert.

I did my "Alliance Francaise" exam after preparations at the Ecole-Club Migros and found it very professional: good teaching at fair prices.


Also took some good Italian lessons at IFAGE http://www.ifage.ch/ which is even cheaper than Club-Migros.

No implied critisism, but this topic has come up at least 3 times over the last 2 weeks. 


Can the web site custodians add this/compile a list of Frequently Asked Questions and update when necessary?


Thanks

I went to Migros Ecole in Geneva. I was lucky with my teacher and the group was small. It is more effective to have a private teacher though might be more expensive but you need to seek for a good one with recommendations. Not all native speakers have the ability to teach the language to others.

I'd actually like to know how my french is.. I think it's pretty merde but i've managed to get by on the basics each time i've been here.. 


Now that i'm actually resident here, i think i should take it to the next level but i'm just not sure at which level i need to pitch myself.


I assume most courses would have some sort of intro type thing, i don't think i need to be taught to say 'my name is' .. 'where should i put the garbage' .. 'take the second on left and go straight on' .. 'don't use the washing machine after 10pm' etc etc..

This terrific site is an eyesore Money mouth but you'll find quizzes, worksheets, audio files, etc., to work on your French. Quizzes here: http://www.francaisfacile.com/exercices/exercice-francais-2/exercice-francais-8922.php  or homepage: francaisfacile.com. 


GREAT links here as well: http://www.ifa.gr/index.php/fr/cours-a-formations/se-tester-en-francais


These could help you dertermine where you'd like to improve or further delve into French.
