Fredrik
For diplomats and other professionals looking to take intensive French courses, I highly recommend École Suisse Internationale in Paris. The teachers are excellent, and you can combine group classes with specialized one-on-one lessons or mini-group sessions to meet your specific needs. Don't forget: speak only French. Best regards,

Lea H.
A fantastic language school in Paris that I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend. I took a semi-intensive course for five weeks to improve my French for work, and I was delighted. The teachers are fully committed, they take individual needs into account, and the small group classes are varied and engaging. The school is quite small and therefore has a family-like atmosphere. We have lunch together (if you like), and once a week, there's an opportunity to explore the city with other students, guided by a teacher. (January 2025)
Paolo D.
I’m Italian, I work in France, and I wanted to improve my French quickly. After trying different methods without success, I decided to give a language school a try. École Suisse was the only one that helped me organize my learning with minimal impact on my work schedule. Thanks to a concrete and effective teaching method and excellent teachers, they helped me reach my goals. Even now, when they organize events, I’m always very happy to take part. I highly recommend this school and its approach to anyone who wants to learn French without wasting time. (2019)
