247 french language classes in London

If you are completely new to French, start with an absolute beginner French class, beginner French level 1 course or A1 French course. These classes are designed for adults with no previous experience and usually cover pronunciation, greetings, numbers, simple questions, everyday vocabulary and the first building blocks of French grammar.

Choose an absolute beginner or A1 French class if you are new to French or only know a few words. Choose an A2 or beginner plus class if you can introduce yourself, ask simple questions and understand basic phrases. Choose an improver or B1 French class if you have studied French before and want to build fluency, accuracy and confidence in conversation.

If you studied French at school but have not used it for years, a French refresher, beginner plus, A2 or improver class is often a good place to restart. If you remember basic introductions, numbers, present tense verbs and simple phrases, you may not need an absolute beginner class. If speaking feels rusty, choose a lower level first and move up later.

Yes. Learn.London lists French conversation classes in London alongside structured French courses. Conversation classes are usually best if you already know some French and want to practise speaking, listening, pronunciation and confidence. If you are a complete beginner, a structured A1 French course is usually a better starting point.

Some French classes include pronunciation practice as part of the course, especially beginner, conversation and speaking-focused classes. If pronunciation is your main goal, look for classes that mention speaking, accent, listening, oral practice or conversation. These are more likely to help with confidence, rhythm and clearer spoken French.

Yes. Beginner French classes can be useful if you want to travel in France or other French-speaking places. Look for French for travel, holiday French, beginner French or conversation-focused classes that cover greetings, ordering food, asking for directions, booking, shopping, transport and everyday situations.

French can be a good first language for English speakers because it uses the Latin alphabet, shares many recognisable words with English and is widely taught in London. It can be useful for travel, culture, food, film, literature, work and reconnecting with school French. The best first language is still the one you are most motivated to practise regularly.

Apps can help with vocabulary and daily practice, but in-person French classes give you live speaking practice, correction, pronunciation help, listening practice and the motivation of learning with other people. If your goal is to actually speak French, an in-person class can be a useful complement to self-study.
