I’ve been going to Alliance de San Francisco for years and I’m happy to be a member. The many events are a great opportunity to practice French and learn more about French culture and civilization. Cindy is always a joy to see too!

MY. EXPERIENCE WAS VERY USEFUL-AS I TOOK ALL ADVANCE CLASSES I AM NOW FLUENT IN FRENCH- WHEN IN FRANCE I WAS COMPLETELY ABLE TO CONVERSE WITH. ANYONE-WHILE I COULD AFFORD A LONGUE SEJOUR IN PARIS IN A CHEAP HOTEL I actually started to THINK IN FRENCHAND I STILL DO-SOMETIMES STUFF HAPPENS OR TEMPS A TEMPS CERTAIN CHOSES. DO OCCUR PLEASE GIVE THEM ANOTHER SHOT IF YOU CAN-THOSE COMPUTER COURSES ARE BULLSHIT-YOU MUST SPEAK ANY NEW LANGUAGE TO A REAL PERSON TO LEARN HOW IT IS DONE!!! Mes sentiments gracieuses David delacour

I've been taking classes at the Alliance Française for a little over two years now, and have very much enjoyed the variety of classes and activities that they host. Starting as a complete beginner, they've helped me achieve a B1 level & certification. I highly recommend giving them a try, as they offer both in-person and online classes to accommodate your schedule. Sylouan & Leila have been two of my favorite instructors - bringing lots of fun and encouragement to the classrooms. If you're on the edge of deciding - just do it! Don't be shy, just take a class, it's also a great way to meet new people from around the Bay Area.
