From improving your pronunciation to speaking more naturally in professional or social settings, your lessons will be adapted to your level, interests, and goals.
  • Flexible Learning: Make French fit into your routine instead of rearranging your week around classes. Meet your tutor at home, at your office, or at another convenient location in Chicago, at a time that works with your schedule.

The Chicago International Film Festival regularly includes French-language cinema, giving you the chance to hear native dialogue while discovering films from France and the wider Francophone world. You can also look out for French events and exhibitions held by the Alliance Française de Chicago.
