Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

French Atelier offers live online classes with real teachers. You’ll join a small group of adult learners once a week via Zoom, led by a certified native French teacher. These aren’t pre-recorded lessons — it’s an interactive class where you can speak, ask questions, and learn in real time.

Life happens — and that’s okay. Every class is recorded and available on-demand, so you can catch up at your convenience or review the material as many times as you like.

All French Atelier instructors are native French speakers, professionally trained in teaching French as a foreign language. They are selected for their experience, cultural depth, and warm teaching style — and they teach live from France or French-speaking countries.
