I would think courses at the university EPFL or UNIL shouldn't



be too expensive. Also you may want consider doing a tandem:

The Université populaire du Canton de Genève [People's University] charges a really basic fee per semester plus the cost of a textbook for courses in French, German, English and several other languages. Enrolment is open to all, irrespective of educational achievement, nationality, etc.

However, classes are held in town in the evenings and only during the school year because all the teachers give their services free of charge. If you contact the Université now, you may be able to get advance notice of the classes being organized in September.



The street address is 23 rue du Vuache, 1201 Genève; 022 339 05 00; [email protected]



All the best, Ritchie

(I used to teach English there many moons ago.)

I think the cost can be immaterial if you find the course does not fit yout learning style. Depending on your current level , perhaps a self study until you reach a stage where you can attend one of the many language exchanges that are posted on this site. And just talking to the locals at every opportunity can help.

Hi



[quote]Find a french native speaker as a boyfriend... best way :D

[/quote]



I fully agree with Tinkie, a native french speaker as girlfriend/boyfriend would be best.

However, my wife wouldn't agree to this ;).

You might consider using Skype to take lessons via the internet. I've found them to be both effective and economical, at less than 20 francs per hour of personal instruction time. This also saves you the commute time to and from a physical school. The site I use is www.buddyschool.com, but there are many ones out there. These sites generally allow you to schedule a lesson for a convenient time and then pay by Paypal or credit card.

Tamar Hello,

I currently have 1 to 1 lessons which is great for the detail and grammer etc....but, I would really like to join a group class where I get to practice chatting and listening to others too. If you found any where good, please do share and thanks to everyone else for all the top tips via the thread.


Cheers, Elianne

Hi


I have been teaching french for the last 20 years, am a french native, have grown up in NYC, thus am perfectly bilingual.


 


I tailor my classes to your needs: first lesson is free and is to evaluate your level and show you my method based on internet exercices, paperbook exercices, reading, speaking and writing. I mix lots of different technics  according to level and needs and my teaching evolves with the student's progress.


 


I can teach anywhere in Geneva from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., from monday to friday. Lunch break slots are quite busy. Internet or Wifi access is compulsory


 


We can even work out a discount for an upfront payment for group or multiple lessons.


 


Currently teaching one on ones at a permanent foreign Mission in geneva.  On-going multi private lessons as well. Numerous references available upon request.


 


Review on Glocals available following this link:

Hope this appeals to you :)

A friend of mine just opened a languages school.


It is in the center of geneva, and I think it is not very expensive (190/month for 3 lessons per week):

University classes are also an option and shouldn't be very expensive.


According to me, the best method would be talking French with Swiss people :D
