Thoroughly enjoying my French classes with AF Sydney. Relaxed, friendly and supportive learning environment, fantastic teachers, every lesson is très amusante!
- Kate
Je fréquente les cours de l’Alliance Française de Sydney depuis deux ans. J’ai commencé au niveau A2.3 et je suis actuellement au B2.5. Tout au long de ce parcours, j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer des enseignants compétents et motivés, capables d’allier patience, empathie et esprit d’encouragement.

Having recently retired from full-time work, studying French at Alliance Française provided the perfect solution as to what to do next.

I chose AF because of its long history in teaching French, its up to date methods, its thoroughness and the quality of the staff.
- Thomas
Our teacher creates a fun learning environment where we all feel safe to try without worrying about making a mistake. This is really important, and really rare.
- Philip
The teaching quality is very high with the lessons consistently delivered with passion and a genuine interest in student progression. And the small class sizes allow for very helpful conversational exercises

Bonjour! From my 3 months experience so far starting at A1.1, AF has been nothing but fantastic! Every teacher has their own little quirks and ways of teaching but they have all been very encouraging, supportive and lovely. Lots of variety in each lesson, content mixed with Kahoot games, Guess Who, Celebrity Heads etc, very innovative and fun!
- Michael
Since January, my experience at Alliance Française de Sydney has been absolutely delightful! I am thoroughly impressed by the high quality of the courses, and I feel genuinely welcomed every time I walk through the door. Winning tickets to their French film festival was the icing on the cake. Merci beaucoup
