Each small-group weekly session is devoted to one major area of everyday conversation. It's the starting point to learn, practice and master new vocabulary, concepts and social codes.

Every session is based on a structured, stimulating and progressive learning process. Each person has a chance to speak and participate extensively within the group and gets personalized feedback from the teacher.

A learning booklet is issued and given to each participant at the start of each small-group class.

2 online private 1-on-1 classes

3h

Each session is entirely dedicated to addressing your unique priorities and challenges. Whether it's tackling persistent language difficulties, mastering specific topics, or adopting new learning strategies, your expert French language coach, Fabienne, has got you covered.

Fabienne will personally design a bespoke French curriculum for each of your 1-on-1 private sessions, ensuring you get the most out of your learning experience.

You can benefit from your 1-on-1 French classes, scheduled conveniently to suit your needs, all within a remote learning environment.

Online access to further challenges and resources

After each session, you'll have access to exercises, flashcards, quizzes, and lots of helpful materials through our user-friendly online learning platform. These resources will supercharge your memorization and understanding of the new concepts from the class and give you the freedom to explore the related topics in even more depth.

And here's the cherry on top: our alumni continue to bask in unlimited access to our web app for at least one year after completing the program. So, you can keep refining your skills, revisiting lessons, and enjoying the language journey long after your FrenchBooster adventure ends.

It was a wonderful experience, learning and improving my French with the French booster classes. The course and resources are impeccably structured. The teacher was excellent, very observant, patient and guided the students effectively. The techniques really worked for me in improving my vocabulary and grammar.

Pallavi

Novexpat is very professional and I feel very confident and supported in my learning. When I took other French classes, I felt very shut down or criticized about my level of French and how it wasn't good enough. But with the FrenchBooster Program, I didn't feel afraid to try my French. Thank you!

Jamora

The program helps not only with the fluidite of the speaking but also with the comprehension after.

Yamelis

Fabulous. I remember my first 2 classes. There were things I wanted to speak about but I couldn't muster up the courage to speak. By the end I felt confident enough to speak about "n'importe quoi."

Zubin

Very positive experience. The course is really well structured. The duration of the lessons is perfect with a short break and lots of practice time. The platform Neo is full of resources. Very happy!

Rebeca

What a difference this class made. I felt more french and more confident with each lesson. Each week I learned useful everyday words and expressions that I used the minute I left the class.

Holly

Good program, friendly tool & all led by a teacher who creates a good vibe and manages to deliver the sessions with energy & in an easy going and not boring way

Marta

Learning French turns out to be a travel adventure. The classes are shaped with a definite structure that covers all the relevant subjects I want to be able to communicate about.

Andi

I did the FrenchBooster when I moved to Paris. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot in a short time. What makes novexpat's lessons so fun is that they are about everyday life. What you learn is immediately applicable.

Wubke

I progressed sufficiently well as I can tell this by my understanding of almost everything that is being discussed. Sure, I lack some vocabulary and I get my grammar wrong sometimes but I am feeling more confident at making these mistakes and speaking in general and I know much more than when I started 10 weeks ago.

Jelena

It was great. I really feel like I learnt a lot. The classes didn't feel like 3 hours long as they are nicely broken up into different sections; revision, grammar, vocab and there were plenty of opportunities to speak in French with the other participants. Definitely the best language course I have taken.

Nicola

I thought it was very enjoyable and I looked forward to French class each Saturday morning! Each week certain words and phrases would come back to me after a 10 year break from learning French! The course has made my love for learning French return!

Karen

I loved the variety of the French Booster. It was intense but I was never bored! The standard of teaching was outstanding. A very well devised course that I would recommend for anyone at intermediate level!

Bree

I loved learning French from Novexpat! The classes were so well organized and the online platform was so helpful to study in more detail at home.

María Eugenia

I had a fantastic experience and it really helped me to reignite my desire to learn French. I also improved a lot during the class.

Robert

The classes are interactive and fun and the teacher is always positive and encouraging. I also enjoy using 'Neo', their education platform that has fun exercises that give great insights to the French language and culture.

Pooja

Highly recommend the Novexpat FrenchBooster class! Fabienne is knowledgeable and so supportive, and the small class size is ideal for learning and practicing conversation. The online component is also very useful and well done. Excellent class!

Molly

It was just what I needed and was great for practice, expanding my vocabulary, and clarifying several grammar questions I had.

Francis

It has been amazing two months in which I had the chance to improve significatly my level of French using an innovative method. I met great people and a wonderful teacher

Stoyana

I loved coming to class every week and I felt totally engaged! I was sorry that it ended so quickly... I think this summarizes everything (-:
