The Alliance Française de Sydney is a  not-for-profit Franco-Australian cultural association which was founded in 1895. It is dedicated to promoting French language and culture and to establishing friendly relationships between francophones and francophiles in Sydney and in Australia at large.

It is at once a language school, a cultural centre, a multimedia library, a bookshop and a typical French café.

The Alliance Française de Sydney is part of the largest network of French language and cultural centres teaching over 40,000 students worldwide. There are 1,300 Alliances Françaises established in 112 countries including 33 in Australia.

A LANGUAGE CENTRE

The Alliance Française de Sydney organises French language tuition for high school students and adults, at all levels of competence in French. In groups or on a one-to-one basis, at the Alliance or on company premises.

OUR TEACHERS

The Alliance Française de Sydney provides a unique language service where all teachers are qualified French speakers, specially trained in foreign language methodology.

OUR APPROACH

Designed for everyone from the complete beginner to the university specialist, our classes provide a very friendly and motivating atmosphere: through a variety of the most advanced audio-visual methods, the student becomes part of a small group which interacts, communicates and works together.

OUR FACILITIES

Outside of the classroom, the Alliance provides students with many opportunities to obtain a real “learn and live” experience: group outings to the cinema, immersion weekends and language trips are our most popular events.

The Alliance Française de Sydney also offers private tuition and corporate language training, in general and in specialised French, at the Alliance or at your office.

Catch up lessons are available for students who have missed one or more classes. Please contact the reception desk for details.
