Can I learn French at Berlitz Bordeaux as a complete beginner?

Yes. Complete beginners start at level A1, and the first lesson is already held in French. Your trainer works with gestures, objects and rephrasing rather than translation, which is why no prior knowledge is needed.

Are lessons only in the centre?

No. Online lessons follow the same method with the same trainers, and many learners at Bordeaux combine the two: in the centre when their week allows, online when it does not.

With a level assessment, which is a conversation rather than a test, and which commits you to nothing. The programme and the cost are proposed after it.

I am on my seventh remote English course and I am still just as satisfied. The atmosphere is pleasant and motivating, which makes learning even more effective. Thank you to the whole team for your good humour and your commitment. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their English in a serious and dynamic setting.

I was lucky enough to improve my English during my six-month course with Berlitz Artigues. The team's responsiveness and professionalism, the variety of teachers and their kindness are really appreciated. If you are unsure which training provider to choose, go for it!
