All the Alliance Française Brussels-Europe teachers are native French speakers with a diploma in teaching French to foreigners.

CEFR levels
The Alliance Française international network allows you to continue your learning all over the world. To help you see the progress you made, the Alliance Française Brussels-Europe organizes its courses around 6 levels: A1 – A2 – B1- B2 – C1 and C2.
These internationally recognized levels correspond to those defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They allow you to evaluate your level of mastery of a foreign language for different skills: listening, reading, speaking/interacting, and writing.
Elementary user: level A1 (= discovery level) and level A2 (= survival level)
At the end of level A2, you will be able to communicate in a simple way and ask questions. You will also be able to write simple texts such as a letter or answer an email.
See the full educational programms:
Independent user: level B1 (= threshold level) and level B2 (= advanced level)
By the end of level B2, you will be able to understand news broadcasts, lectures, speeches and express yourself spontaneously.
Experienced user: level C1 (= autonomous level) and level C2 (= mastery level)
At the end of level C1, you will be able to express yourself spontaneously and fluently and understand long speeches without difficulty.
The C2 level is close to the native French speaker.
Description of my class
Alliance Française Brussels-Europe offers multimodal learning: the flexibility to learn French online at home, face-to-face or bimodally according to your needs and availability.
100% face-to-face
How does a face-to-face French course work?
All your sessions take place at the Alliance Française, in the heart of Brussels. You will find all your course documents, complementary activities, assignments and discussion forums on the Apolearn pedagogical e-learning platform.
What are the advantages of presential courses?
You benefit from modern facilities and a team to support you in your learning. It is the guarantee of a complete immersion in a French-speaking environment, allowing you to concentrate on practicing the language and meeting native French speakers.
Online courses
How does an online course work?
All your sessions take place remotely, on Zoom. You will find all your course documents, complementary activities, assignments and discussion forums on the Apolearn e-learning platform.
What are the advantages of online courses?
No matter where you are, you can take your course and benefit from the many modalities offered by distance learning tools. You are at the center of an interactive learning method that integrates the flexibility of distance learning.
Bimodal learning
How does a bimodal course work?
The two modalities are combined: part of the students is in person at the Alliance Française and the other part of the group is at home, on Zoom. Everything is done to encourage interaction between students, thanks to high-tech tools and customized pedagogy.
What are the advantages of the bimodal pedagogy?
Bimodal learning makes it possible to combine flexibility, interactivity and innovative learning. You decide how you want to do it: for example, you can take a face-to-face course on Tuesday and an online course on Thursday, depending on your personal needs.
