Bonjour French Classes in Edinburgh

★★★★★

“I’ve been taking private and group French lessons with Bonjour French, taught by Emma and Louise, since the summer. Before my first private lesson, Emma reached out to ask what I wanted to focus on (this in the days before our first class, not during lesson time). The two 1:1 lessons I had with her were excellent—she was supportive, encouraging, and structured the sessions to help me improve. The homework and learning materials she provided after each class were tailored to our discussions and even included a motorbike-themed exercise based on our chat (we’d talked about my motorbikes in the lesson) which was more enjoyable than any homework exercise I ever had in 7 years of French classes at school! I’ve now just finished my first block of group classes with Louise. Emma’s private lessons gave me a real confidence boost, but I was still a bit nervous about joining a group after nearly 10 years away from classroom French. I needn’t have worried as from the first moment of the class Louise makes you feel at ease in the super friendly, supportive and really welcoming environment she has created in her school. Our group of six had a great mix of free-flowing conversation and structured learning. Louise ensures everyone gets a chance to speak, and the materials—available both in print and online—are clear, concise, and perfect for reviewing after class. I’ve really enjoyed the sessions and have already signed up for the next block. I can’t recommend Bonjour French enough. Emma and Louise are brilliant teachers—kind, patient, and able to explain tricky grammar or vocabulary clearly in both French (as native speakers) and in English. Whatever your level from complete beginner right through to advanced French speakers if you’re thinking of having French classes then this is the language school for you.”

“I’d been thinking about taking French classes for a long time, and I’m so glad I finally took the plunge with this company. The classes are really small groups and are held in a lovely French café, which creates such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and every week you get to try delicious pastries or treats — a really special touch. Emma is an amazing teacher who makes the classes fun, light-hearted, and completely non-stressful. I started with very little French and feel like I’m learning something new every week, with the pace always matching the class. I also attended a Christmas evening where we played games in French, ate lovely nibbles and met people from other classes. I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone thinking about learning French.”

“Louise is a fantastic teacher and I've improved so much with her lessons. The informal format has been such a great way to practice conversational skills and actually start using and becoming confident with real french. Top quality and I would reccomend to anyone at any level!”
