Why Learn French With Us
Discover why learning French with us is a unique experience.
Learning a new language is rewarding and has many benefits, but it can be a little intimidating. At AFSC, we all have started learning a second language at some stage in the past, and we would like to share our experiences with you!
-
We cater for all levels of knowledge of the French language.
-
Our courses are focused on conversational French with active participation in classes limited to 6 to 12 students. They are based on interactive activities to make learning French a fun and successful experience.
-
Our teaching philosophy is in line with the CEFRL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), the premier international standard adopted by the best language schools around the world. The Alliance Française centers are the only language schools worldwide accredited by the French government.
-
Our experienced and qualified teachers remain at your service throughout your learning process. They will speak as much French as possible in the classroom to immerse yourself in the language.
-
Students have opportunities to practice French outside of the classroom through our social and cultural events and our conversation workshops. The Alliance Française de la Sunshine Coast is offering a total French experience: from learning French to speaking French with many different people during our cultural activities.
-
Our group courses start at $28.50 per 90 minutes classes.
-
Students who are unable to attend classes have the opportunity to join our Skype online program (individual or group sessions).
-
Students have access to the Culturethèque, a French e-library with 24/7 access from your personal computer, tablet, or smartphone, access your favorite magazines as they hit newsstands, view concerts and shows, listen to lectures, introduce children to cultural materials, read e-books and comics, and take advantage of language-learning materials tailored to your needs. Over 400 magazines, 1,000 books, 200 comics, 450 videos and 370 learning materials.
-
We also have a French for Kids Program - in class or by Skype.
Our mission
The Alliance Française de la Sunshine Coast is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting French language, culture,
literature and history on the Sunshine Coast of Australia and to encourage French-Australian cultural exchange and friendship.
The Alliance Française de la Sunshine Coast provides the opportunity for friends of French language and culture to come together in a
very welcoming, non-political and non-religious environment.
Our Committee
The AFSC committee is composed of enthusiastic local Francophiles happy to bring their skills and experience to offer a range of services
and events to the Sunshine Coast community.
We also encourage volunteers to join us in order to help out at events. If you are interested in becoming involved with your Alliance, please contact us.
The Committee is aware that your privacy is important. This is why our Privacy Policy and Procedure is updated on a regular basis.
Our Community
Our members make our Alliance great. We meet frequently each month to celebrate the love for all things French : we meet once a month at the Loose Goose in Twin Waters, once a month at the Coolum Surf Club and once a month at Jungle & Co in Noosa.
We bring you the French Film Festival each year (April- June) and we celebrate La Galette des Rois, Bastille Day and Le Beaujolais Nouveau throughout the year.
