High quality, professional and friendly teacher staff. Admission and administration organized perfectly.

Who teaches the French courses at ILS Dubai?2026-04-10T07:33:34+04:00

ur French teachers are mostly native speakers with a genuine passion for their language and culture. They are experienced in teaching international students from diverse backgrounds, which is especially important in a multicultural city like Dubai. At ILS, small class sizes mean every student gets personal attention, real speaking time, and direct feedback in every lesson. You are not passively listening, you are actively using the language from day one. ILS also brings its Swiss educational heritage to Dubai, with years of experience teaching French across 5 cantons in Switzerland, one of the world’s most French-immersed environments.

What will I actually learn in the French course at ILS?2026-04-10T07:32:35+04:00

The ILS French course is built to develop all four core language skills in a balanced and practical way:

  • Reading – Comprehension, vocabulary building and reading confidence

  • Writing – Grammar, vocabulary, written expression and structure

  • Listening – Understanding native French speakers in everyday and professional contexts

  • Speaking – Natural fluency, a confident French accent, and real conversations

Grammar and vocabulary are developed progressively throughout every level, always in the context of real-life situations. The goal is not just to understand French on paper but to speak it naturally and confidently in the real world.

Is French difficult to learn, and how long does it take to become conversational?2026-04-10T07:33:34+04:00

French is widely considered one of the most accessible languages for English speakers to learn, largely because English has borrowed thousands of words directly from French. Grammar has its nuances, particularly around gender and verb conjugation, but with a communicative, structured approach these become natural over time. Most students at ILS begin holding basic conversations within the first few weeks and reach genuine conversational confidence at the B1 to B2 level. The pace depends on how often you study and how much you practice outside class, but consistent learners see real, noticeable progress quickly.

Do I need any prior knowledge of French to start a course at ILS?2026-04-10T07:33:34+04:00

Not at all. ILS welcomes complete beginners with zero prior knowledge of French. Our free placement test accurately identifies your current level, from A1 (total beginner) all the way through to C1 (advanced), and our teachers build from exactly where you are. If you already have some French from school or previous study, the placement test ensures you join at the right level so you are always progressing, never repeating things you already know.
