Place: 
This class is Hyflex. It means that the teacher will be in the classroom in our Lorong Gurney Center, and you can choose to attend each day online or onsite.
However, the challenge of learning a language in such a short period of time is easier if you can really immerse yourself in our center and take all opportunities to be exposed to French in our library, with your classmates, with our staff, during our events, etc.  We recommend you to attend the classes onsite as much as possible if you live in KL!

How to achieve your goals?
Please note, this is a full-time commitment—success in this transformative journey requires focus, so balancing additional professional or educational activities may not be feasible. Dive in, dedicate yourself, and watch your French skills soar!
The goal is ambitious, and we provide the ultimate framework to help you succeed. On your end, success requires dedication and here are our best pieces of advice: attend every class without fail, actively engage during lessons, and make French your top priority throughout the duration of your studies. We will schedule regular breaks for you :)
