For 11/16 year olds, we offer a special program that combines French classes and leisure activities.

The mornings are entirely devoted to French classes. The program consists of 20 lessons of 45 minutes each, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm.
The afternoons are devoted to outdoor activities: beach sports, beach parties, bowling, biking, rollerblading, treasure hunt, etc.

You participate in group sessions with your teacher via videoconference where you practice speaking and receive instructions for exercises to be done on the e-learning platform.

The e-learning platform allows you to learn French or to deepen your knowledge by working autonomously on different skills: exercises and lessons in grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, written production, written and oral comprehension, phonetics.

Staying with a host family is ideal if you wish to discover French culture and deepen your knowledge of the language.

IFALPES works with a network of host families located in Annecy and the surrounding communes. Families are rigorously selected and met with their housing department. They sign a Charter of welcome and trust. You will make all the more progress in French as you will share the life of a French family who will be delighted to exchange with you.
