Why learn French?

French is estimated to have 76 million native speakers and is an official language in 29 countries across multiple continents. The extensive reach of the language also makes it one of the most useful languages for business and travel.

The French classes with Berlitz will immerse you completely in the language and culture to ensure you will not only understand the language, but will be able to use it in any social, professional or academic setting. Whether you are looking to learn French for business, travel or just as a hobby, we can help you achieve your goals.

Berlitz offers a variety of French class options, including private French lessons, self-paced online French courses, group French lessons and much more. All French classes incorporate the core Berlitz language teaching methods and include some level of instructor-led live classes.

You know your language goals. We know how to help you achieve them.

Group classes for children

Learning in a group is a real social and community building experience. We think it is very important for our young students to explore the new language together with their peers and build real relationships as they are doing so. We are expecting students of ages 7 to 17 in our groups whose composition is determined by age and level of competence. You may choose a closed group, or you may enroll your child in an open group designed to complement his or her school schedule.
