Very engaging, supportive, positive. Masters Zoom extremely well, uses all features available and clearly makes a huge effort so the classes are interactive and fun. Thank you!

Amelie speaks very clearly, which is important for me. She makes the class enjoyable and ensures we all get a turn to speak.

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.

Tout est absolumment super. Mélody et Hélèna ont continué de faire des cours très intéressants, et il y avait peu de problèmes technologiques. J’apprecie énormément tous vos efforts, c’est vraiment un plaisir de pouvoir continuer les études de francais.

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.

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.

I enjoyed the talk on Friday given by Nicolas. All praise to him for delivering it in such good English.

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.

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.

Classes continue to be excellent. They’re challenging but interesting, friendly and fun.

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.
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.
October 2020
The course A1 is brilliant. I really enjoyed it so far. I learnt a lot from it.
October 2020
The instructor is a true delight – extremely kind, patient, encouraging, energetic, knowledgeable, cheerful, and clear.
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.

Le coup de coeur de la semaine de l'Alliance Française Cambridge 😍
This year, we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de la Fontaine, born in 1621. He was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century. ✍️ Jean de la Fontaine is mostly famous for his Fables, such as The Fox and The Crow, The Tortoise and The Hare, or even The Ant and The Grasshopper. Humorous, nuanced and ironical, they have been read for generations and keep being enjoyed by children and adults today. 📖

#LearnFrench with l'Alliance Française Cambridge! 🇨🇵
This week, learn the idom "Faire la grasse matinée". 😴
Literally translated as "to do a fatty morning", this idom actually means to have a lie-in, and sleep until late in the morning. 🛌
We hope that you will be able to do some "grasse matinées » during these holidays, and enjoy a well deserved rest! 💤
