It really depends on who your teacher is. I attended for 1 month during the summer of 2020. I would not recommend this place for beginners. My class was for “beginners”, but we had an array of different level students. I remember an advanced student who would get frustrated and answer&correct the beginner level students when answering questions or reading. Then there would be moments where the advanced student and teacher has full on conversations while others just sat and stared. I had 2 different teachers during my 4 weeks there and the teaching method was day and night! My first two weeks, Everyday the lessons went over my head… there was no structure and each day would be a different topic or lesson. Nothing stuck and I felt confused everyday. Then the last two weeks, we had a different teacher and it was structured and every lesson was built upon the last lesson. I knew what to study and I learned from each lesson. We went over what we learned in a way you memorized it. So it really depends on the teacher. I had Alexi for my last 2 weeks.

I am a middle-aged adult. I wanted to learn French, but I was scared. Of all of the schools in Paris that I researched, French As You Like It seemed to me to be the best suited to my situation. From our first interaction, I knew I had made the right choice. The staff is responsive and personable, and the instructors are supportive and experienced. I am two weeks in, and my vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence continue to grow. I am very pleased, and I will be going back for a third week. I recommend French As You Like It without reservation, and I also recommend taking advantage of the free cultural outings and mixers that they offer because these events are excellent opportunities to practice (and sometime commiserate) with other learners.

Great experience at FAYLI. The school is very well organized, the classes/schedules are flexible (either on Zoom or at the school), the school location is great and above all the teachers are excellent. Would warmly recommend!

Very convenient and intimate school in a great part of Paris, located right at street level. Family owned, they welcome you right in and even make you coffee. Classes are small and teachers knowledgeable. I am going back.
