Questions and answers

According to our inquiries, the target group is interested in a French language course for adults for the following reasons:

  • 34% want to find out which French study trip suits their learning goals exactly
  • 33 % are interested on the basis of a recommendation
  • 33% are interested because such a course is required in a job description.
The language courses on offer vary depending on the provider. Language travel providers for youth language trips often only offer a fixed number of language lessons per week, so that all participants, although in different ability groups, complete the same number of lessons per day and week. This is also due to the fact that the supporting programme is usually much more tightly organized than for language trips for young adults or other target groups who also want to explore the surrounding area independently.

For language travel for young adults, adults, seniors or professionals, you will usually find several types of language course at different levels during a French language stay. There are usually standard courses with around 20 lessons per week, intensive courses with up to 30 lessons, special diploma courses for French language diplomas, semi-intensive courses with around 25 lessons per week or combination courses consisting of group courses and individual lessons. The exact number of lessons per week varies depending on the school, as does the choice of courses. Some language schools also allow you to combine a French course with a specific leisure activity, such as cooking, golf or culture.

According to our survey, language-learning adults ask schools about a French language study trip because 34% already knew the school. 33% asked schools for a recommendation. The remaining 33% had read an online review of French language courses there before enquiring about a school.

It depends entirely on the individual language school which costs are included in the price quoted. As a rule, the price includes the cost of the French course, the course materials and the accommodation you have chosen, possibly with half board if booked. In addition to these costs for your French language study trip, you will usually have to add the leisure program, registration fees or agency fees, as well as travel costs and possibly airport transfers. There may also be a surcharge during the high season at some schools, especially for residences, as well as during the Christmas and New Year period with host families. If you have chosen a diploma course, you should note that the costs for the DELF or DALF exams are usually not included in the price, which usually amount to a further 150 francs. If you have opted for accommodation in a hall of residence, you should bear in mind that this usually does not include meals, which you will have to take care of yourself (not for youth trips). Extracurricular activities, additional bookable activities, travel on public transport and entrance fees are also charged separately, as are deposits that are often required for apartments. As there can be quite a lot of additional costs, you should ask for quotes from a number of schools and compare them in detail and check what is included so that you can be sure to find not only the best French course, but also the right school at the best possible price for your French language study trip.
