This class has been the best yet that I have done at AF d’Oxford. The materials are interesting, the class is friendly and supportive, and the teacher is excellent. In particular it has allowed me to focus on pronunciation and speaking.

Mon voyage heureux à Oxford (...) c’est la journée du cours de conversation (à l'Alliance Française). Mes co-étudiants sont enthousiastes, intéressants et nous travaillons bien ensembles. Notre professeure Zoé nous encourage à nous améliorer en prononciation, expression et compréhension. Son enthousiasme est infectieux.”
