Our philosophy

We offer a friendly and stimulating environment to help you gain confidence in speaking French. All classes are conducted in French with an emphasis on communication. You will learn grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, pronunciation and more, through active participation and conversation.

At the Alliance Française de Chicago, you not only learn French, you learn practical French.

Our commitment to quality

All our teachers are:

  • Native or bilingual
  • Certified to teach French as a Second Language
We use the Alliance Française French-American Educational Standards (AF Frames) in order to
  • Provide you with clear learning objectives
  • Give your teacher a better understanding of your needs
  • Help you to choose your level if you wish to get a diploma
