Continuous French Course at alpha.b with CSN –

Learn, Speak, Enjoy

At alpha.b, we love welcoming students from all over the world to study French in a friendly and supportive environment.

One of our most popular programs is the Continuous French Course, designed for anyone wanting to improve their French steadily over time, whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner.

This course is open to all levels, from A0 to C1, and offers 20 lessons per week in small groups of 6 to 8 students (maximum 10).

Classes are small enough to allow personal attention, but lively enough to enjoy group discussions and practice with your classmates.

The course covers all aspects of French:

grammar, vocabulary, oral and written expression, comprehension, pronunciation, and intercultural awareness.

Your teacher will give small assignments to consolidate learning, and you can always ask for extra exercises if you want to practice more.

Every student receives Alpha.book, which is perfect for reviewing lessons and practicing at home.

We follow a communicative and action-oriented approach, which means that instead of just memorizing rules, students actively use French in real-life situations.

Lessons include interactive activities, audio and video materials, and opportunities to practice speaking, listening, and writing.

You’ll also benefit from our pedagogical support system: weekly evaluations, individual guidance from your teacher, and optional Afternoon Study Sessions or Workshop to revise or go deeper into certain topics.

At the end of your course, you can receive a certificate of completion, and if you take the final evaluation, an official attestation specifying your level in all four skills.

The course is offered in partnership with the CSN (Centrala Studiestödsnämnden, the Swedish National Board of Student Aid), which provides financial support for Swedish students studying abroad.

This makes it easier for students to focus on learning and enjoying their time in Nice without worrying about finances.

Julia’s Experience

To give you a sense of what the course feels like in practice, here’s the story of Julia, who studied with us for two months.

She arrived at level A2+ and left at B2. Her experience shows both the quality of teaching and the friendly, supportive atmosphere at alpha.b:

« The teaching was really good. I had Maria for 7 weeks and she is an amazing teacher! I always looked forward going to class because she made it so fun and interesting. 10/10, would definitely recommend a friend to this school because my experience has been lovely. And I want to plan to come here again! »

Julia highlights how our teachers make learning enjoyable and engaging, mixing fun activities with real-life conversation practice.

She also appreciated our supportive staff:

« If I had any questions regarding anything Tove could help with a lot! She was always available during the breaks and I was really happy to find out she was Swedish too (as I am). She gave me advice for learning French and was always nice everyday when I arrived to the school. And so helpful indeed. She made my experience so good and the whole team at alpha.b was so nice. They are so service minded, and I never hesitated to ask if there was something I wanted to know, the reception made me feel really welcome! »

Julia also loved the personal connection with staff who could speak Swedish or English, which made asking questions easy and stress-free:

« The best moment was the teacher Maria and her wonderful lectures. And also the staff at the reception, they made me feel very welcome. I was super glad that Tove was Swedish because it made it very easy to ask her questions. Also that she could help me with any questions that I had in mind, and also that she speaks English because I heard that a lot of other students were happy that they could speak to her in English which was helpful for them. »

Studying at alpha.b with the CSN program is not just about learning French—it’s about feeling part of a friendly, international community, gaining confidence in your language skills, and enjoying your time in Nice.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to improve your fluency, the Continuous French Course is the perfect way to learn, speak, and have fun at the same time.
