Beginner Level 2 is for those who have been studying French for at least 1 semester.

Intermediate Level 1 is for students who have taken 4 or more semesters of French.

Intermediate/Advanced is for students who have studied French for 6 semesters or more.

COST:

The cost is $325 for this semester (approx $11/hr).  The full semester’s payment, by check, is due at the time of the first class. 

DETAILS:

Beginner Level 1 and Level 2 classes will take place at PS 58.  The location for the Intermediate and Advanced classes will be determined according to the total number of participants in each class.  They will be held in the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill area.

New participants are asked to purchase two textbooks, at an estimated cost of $60.00.  The books are a good investment, as they are used for ALL levels of the adult classes.

Adult classes are best when there are a good number of students, making for lively conversation and opportunities for shared learning.  (Classes are unfortunately subject to cancellation, should they be under-subscribed.)

All classes are canceled when public schools are closed (for holidays or other reasons). 

Please pre-enroll ASAP by emailing Ria with your name and the class you wish to sign up for, at the following email address:  registration@bonjourny.com.
