The CALA approach to learning languages focuses on high-frequency vocabulary—the words, phrases, expressions, and grammar that you are most likely to encounter in day-to-day life. We go narrow-and-deep with this vocabulary.
???????Did you know that French was the first language offered by JP Linguistics. You could say that we have a soft spot for French.Â
All our programs aim at developing the four skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. We also take into account students’ particular needs and adapt the lessons to ensure these needs are fulfilled.
We are delighted to offer French classes designed for individuals of all ages and proficiency levels.
