Courses for children 6 – 12 years
Between game, pleasure and learning, playful activities are offered to arouse the curiosity, imagination and expression of children. The activities are specifically designed and adapted to the children’s age. The proposed sequences aim to develop the auditory discrimination, phonological skills, the oral and written expression. Manual, singing activities and board games together with stories are offered.
Courses for teenagers 13 – 18 years
Once a week, the Institut français du Luxembourg offers courses in French as Foreign Language (FLE) and French as Mother Tongue (FLAM) for teenagers 13-18 years old.
Whether beginners or advanced level, teenagers learn the language in an enjoyable yet serious way: comprehension, speaking, reading and writing in French are the aims of the courses for teenagers which range from the A1 to the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Facilitated by teachers who are specialised in teaching teenagers, these courses are based on a proactive and fun method.

Good course, with some room for improvements
The course was overall good. For the price that we paid and considering the presence of students with different levels in the same group, it should be better organized, though! Meaning that the different levels require different materials. Homework would also help to revise what was done in the course. In level A1.2, it would be more important to also write things down and not just express them orally, as this can then help to practice at home in order to prepare for the next class. Now we always had to start instead with a “short” revision of the day before, which in fact took up a lot of time.
The majority of the students were beginners who hadn’t studied french before or had only studied it for a couple of weeks, and I ended up being more talkative than the others and I felt that I was talking a lot – the teacher also mentioned that a few times. Basically this part was wrong attempt of the beginning of the class. With regard to grammar, the teaching was really very good! It would however have been better to include more dialogues, letting students write them down and then practice among each other – this could be very helpful.
fruitful start learning French in 11 sessions
Kona, native American, 9 years old,spent 11 sessions of French private lession during her holidays in Luxembourg. Nearly from scratch, she was willing to start learning French in view of being able to chat with her French origin school friend in NY State primary public school
Sandra, her teacher, made her comfortable at the lesson, so that due to this friendly relationship, Kona was able to register good progress by learning words at the start. She has an excellent memory for words and ideas. But certainly, her willingness to learn helped her to meeting the expectations of Sandra and ours too. During the aftermath of the private lessons, we rehears with her main words or standard situations. Even with this background, you can not expecting miracles. Nevertheless it was a treasure for future work .
Interesting and efficient if you find your level
This time a I had just one week, but enjoyed a lot and gained more confidence in my French speaking skills.
