French is one of the world's great languages, rich in history, literature and culture. For a long time French battled with English for international lingual supremacy. It may have lost that battle but it no doubt remains the sexiest language ever spoken. Learn it, you'll love it.
 
HESS Adult French classes are small, giving the teachers and students more flexibility and creating a better environment for learning French. The curriculum is specifically written for non-European students. The same series of books, CDs, VCDs and other supporting materials is used from the basic to the advanced courses, meaning the material naturally builds on what students have already learned and review is abundant.
 
HESS' Adult French courses cater for a range of abilities. There are three courses - Basic, Intermediate and Advanced with three levels in each.
 
Each level contains 8 lessons. Following this there are topic-based courses available.
