If you have a valid proof or certificate of your language skills, a placement test is not necessary.
There are around 300 million people worldwide who speak French.
French is an official language in 29 countries, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Monaco and numerous African countries.
That's how many international students choose to study in France or Belgium every year.
Since the start of the program, over 700,000 Erasmus students have chosen France as their destination.
The language course is a great opportunity to learn a world language under friendly, native-speaker guidance and to get to know students from other disciplines.
The language course is a great opportunity to learn French interactively. The language is very important for many academic fields and especially with philosophy you can make good use of the language with philosophers such as Derrida, Sartre or Camus.
French is a beautiful, melodic language that is an enrichment. I would definitely recommend the French course at the Language Center.
I chose this language because of its beautiful phonetics, the native speaker lecturer and its relevance to my studies.
I studied French at school but unfortunately missed out on practicing the language. Ms. Goldschmidt-Terbeck is very open to our questions, the program is quite tight, but everyone enjoys attending this event thanks to the friendly atmosphere.
I personally enjoy learning languages. The course is not too demanding and not too fast, so I enjoy learning the same language, unlike at school.
I think it's wonderful that as a university employee I can put my French skills on a solid footing after my work. The pace is phenomenal and our lecturer is great.
The language course is fun and French is a beautiful and useful language - so I can only recommend it.
French is a beautiful, melodic language and it's fun to learn the language from a native speaker.
The French course is fun because the teacher is very friendly. You are well supported and time is taken for each individual person.
