What are the levels and how many hours do I need to take?For the casual learner, 1h weekly might be enough. However, if you have a specific goal, say you want to be ready for your trip to France coming up in a few months, you might want to consider taking 2x1h or 3x1h lessons weekly while immersing yourself in a French learning routine. Why taking more lessons weekly? -The shorter gap between each lesson allows the brain to reactivate previously learned content and notions more effectively. -It makes learning French more immersive as it feels more present in your daily life. -You will reach a higher level in a shorter time frame compared to the same amount of hours spread over a longer time frame. -Faster results = higher motivation = happy learner.

For a smoother experience, try immersing yourself in the language as much as possible while taking lessons. How can you do that? Read below
