Reviews
July 2021
I am very grateful for having the opportunity to do the GCSE French course. My French has improved immensely, especially my speaking, since we had many speaking exercises.
July 2021
The course I took was very helpful at including all aspects of language learning, including reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as conversational French.
July 2021
Very warm welcome and generosity from Pat and Virginie who enjoy a chat with visitors and are ever-ready to help. I like their film events and the library of French books!
July 2021
Je vous remercie et vous félicite d’avoir réussi à nous offrir des classes, séances et activités pendant cette période inattendue et difficile. Elles étaient intéressantes, géniales et stimulantes. Pour moi et j’en suis certaine pour plusieurs, elles étaient un lien vital avec le monde pendant le confinement. Pour ceux qui habitent loin du centre de Cambridge, Zoom nous a offert la possibilité d’assister à des choses différentes, comme Literature in Time et Club de lecture.
July 2021
I was very impressed with the speed that AF switched to Zoom lessons (much better than most schools I think) and the high quality of tuition provided for Luka over the last year.
May 2021
Well done Alliance Francaise for helping us keep up our French and for providing interesting cultural activities to ensure we keep in touch and don’t stagnate as a result of restrictions caused by Covid. Thank you to all involved!
March 2021
I have attended French classes here on and off for over 5 years and have only great things to say about the Alliance. It will suffice to say that if you live in or around Cambridge, this is the best place for French lessons if you truly want to progress towards fluency.
March 2021
It is a really great language school, the groups are the right size and the lessons are always well planned and full of various interesting activities. I would strongly recommend AF to anyone interested in learning or improving their French!
February 2021
Friendly, welcoming ambiance. Absolutely the best teachers to learn French language!
October 2020
This is a very interesting, well structured and well balanced course. It exposes us to aspects of French culture and also it improves our knowledge of grammar and syntax. Valérie is very good. She is thorough, supportive and very friendly. The group is small and friendly. It is exactly the type of course I wanted to follow and I am lucky I found it. I will continue with it.
October 2020
The instructor is a true delight – extremely kind, patient, encouraging, energetic, knowledgeable, cheerful, and clear.
October 2020
The course A1 is brilliant. I really enjoyed it so far. I learnt a lot from it.
October 2020
Merci à tous pour ce cours super agréable et intéressant, pour moi ça marche très bien sur Zoom. Valérie nous a proposé un cours qui s’adresse à nos intérêts et à ces points de grammaire qui continuent à nous donner des difficultés. Nous avons fait des choses différentes comme la création littéraire et la poésie, un vrai défi pour une anglophone.
July 2020
I enjoyed the talk on Friday given by Nicolas. All praise to him for delivering it in such good English.
July 2020
Je voulais juste dire que moi aussi j’ai aimé ces petits amuse-bouche de la littérature française donnés au cours du book club en ligne pendant le confinement. C’était d’autant plus agréable que je pouvais y accéder de ma ville à 40 km de Cambridge! Merci Gaël pour vos explications sur les auteurs et les textes.
July 2020
Merci d’avoir mis en place le Book Club en ligne. Je trouve que nos séances ont été réussies même chez Zoom, tout le monde a eu l’occasion de participer, même plus peut-être que dans notre situation normale. Le choix de courts morceaux – contes, poèmes – a donné la possibilité de beaucoup de variété dans la même heure, la discussion n’a pas tari, et merci à Gaël de nous avoir fourni tant de mises en scène.
October 2020
Classes continue to be excellent. They’re challenging but interesting, friendly and fun.
October 2020
You have done me a great favour by putting me in such a good class with Amélie. It is a joy to have classes with her. She is kind, patient and engaged in the work.
October 2020
It was great! I’m certainly enjoying my online lessons. The teacher is very hepful and supportive, very professional as well.
October 2020
Je suis super contente avec les clubs de lecture. Félicitations à toute l’équipe – mais surtout à Gaël …. !
October 2020
I like that the homeworks are quite flexible so you can do as much as you can or want, and Melody is very supportive. I like the layout that mixes the skills of team exercises and reading and practicing together.
October 2020
I am enjoying the Tuesday morning class. The varied activities are welcome. There is a lot of opportunity to practise one’s French orally and also to work on one’s comprehension.
July 2020
My son really struggles to engage with school work. Amelie has understood perfectly how to motivate him using topics and games that he enjoys, and now he tells me that he “can’t wait” for his next French lesson. Thank you Alliance Française.
July 2020
Many thanks for teaching my son a new language and for the enthusiasm and warmth we see when he attends. The appreciation of travel, culture and people is hugely important to how we want to raise our son and you guys are outstanding role models for how my child perceives the wider world.
May 2020
Merci beaucoup à toute l’équipe et à Mathilde. Charlie est vraiment content que les cours aient pu continuer en ligne.
June 2020
I am extremely impressed by the quality of the online teaching and with the promptness of the decision by the Alliance to use vide-conferencing — and to provide training for the profs. Melody is outstanding and has a very good on-screen presence.

\Journée mondiale du petit prince/
✨Le 29 juin 1900, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry venait au monde. En 1943, la France découvrait le Petit Prince. Depuis, la planète entière l’a adopté.
👶La journée mondiale du Petit Prince sera célébrée partout dans le monde, à travers des activités pour les enfants et afin de promouvoir les valeurs de la fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry pour la jeunesse. Valeurs chères au papa du Petit Prince, la fondation mène de nombreuses actions en faveur de l’enfance et de la jeunesse, portée par les valeurs humanistes universelles de Saint-Exupéry et apporte un message d’espoir, de respect, d’amour et de paix.
📖Le Petit Prince est aussi un excellent choix, si vous souhaitez lire en français mais que vous n’osez pas sauter le pas, lancez-vous ! Car comme le dit le Petit Prince lui-même : « On ne connaît que les choses qu’on apprivoise. »

/Le coup de coeur de l’AFC - Bigflo et Oli/
🎶French rappers Florian and Olivio Ordonez, better known as Bigflo & Oli, are two musicians, songwriter and interpreter brothers from Toulouse.
💿Their first album was released in 2015, and less than 4 months later, was certified “disque d’or” then “disque de platine” (music award) in France. They are, to this day, the youngest French rappers to own these awards.
🏟️After 2 years of break, they are back in 2022 with their new album “Les Autres c’est Nous”. They will go on a huge tour of France until the beginning of 2023, with also some concerts in Belgium and Switzerland.
They were able to stand out with their unique rap style, contrasting with the aggressive, or even vulgar style of most rappers. Bigflo & Oli are a good choice if you want to listen to French rap and learn new French vocabulary, without the bad words. 😉
