Our online and onsite courses for teenagers are based on communication. We practice conversational French during class using simple
open questions.
We also learn to read and write using the assigned manuals and other supplemental material provided by the teacher.
During class, we start with what they know. We play numbers games, use vocabulary and images relating to outdoor activities, food and
fashion.
We also use educational videos and sometimes present them with the lives of other teenagers in francophone countries.
At the Alliance Française of San Francisco, you are free to ease your way into a better pronunciation, comprehension and oral expression
quickly.
Our teachers will keep a fun, safe and enjoyable environment for you to improve on your language skills and learn the fascinating world of
French Culture !

J'ai vraiment aimé votre classe de Français AP. Cela m'a beaucoup aidé dans ma préparation pour l'examen parce que
j'ai pu m'entraîner pour l'examen et obtenir des commentaires sur mon travail écrit. En parlant de l'examen, cela
s'est très bien passé aujourd'hui et j'étais prête pour chaque tâche de l'examen. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide à me
préparer à l'examen avec la classe de l'Alliance Française! - Archie (Teen 4-5 / AP French)

For me, the most useful aspect of the class was the opportunity to practice speaking and attain feedback right away. I believe that
having all of the students speak frequently was very beneficial. Moreover, the writing practice was also helpful as it got me more
accustomed to writing French essays and emails and the feedback I received regarding grammar and word choice was great. I think it was
great that we often started with a short French video and I liked that sometimes we would discuss the topics, as many were
socially and culturally relevant. I would've liked it better if we discussed the videos every week because that would be more
speaking practice and it would've been discussions revolving around salient issues that everyone thinks about. Finally, the
reading practice that we did was fantastic as I became more and more comfortable reading in French. Taking the class has really
helped me prepare for the AP Exam and I am glad I took it. Thank you so much for being a great teacher and always providing me with
constructive feedback! - Izabella (Teen 4-5 / AP French)

The AP French class with Monsieur Michel was wonderful! There was a lot of focus on oral communication and the ability to structure a
range of simple to complex sentences, which was extremely helpful in the AP French exam. But even more than that, I felt that I gained
valuable experience conversing in French during the weekly lessons. Each class felt like it had a purpose, and I walked away with a lot of
confidence in my ability to understand, write, and speak in French by the end of the semester. I'd also like to add that Monsieur
Michel is a wonderful teacher -- he made each class interesting, was wonderfully interactive, and motivated me to continue practicing
simply for the fun of learning French! I'd highly recommend this class to anyone looking to prepare for the AP French Exam or for
simply gaining experience and learning more about the French language and culture! - Megan (Teen 4-5 / AP French)
