Alliance Francaise De Melbourne
We Teach French!The Alliance francaise de Melbourne is an Australian not-for-profit association dedicated to the promotion of French language and culture. Founded originally in France in 1883, the Melbourne Alliance was created in 1890 and is therefore the oldest in Australia and one of the earliest in the network of the Alliances francaises throughout the world. We are proud:
- To be the number one French language school in Victoria with over 3,000 students per year. Our students enjoy a variety of classes for all ages and for all levels including structured classes, specialised workshops and tailored courses for companies, individuals, private groups and schools. All classes are presented by qualified native speaking French teachers.
- To offer access to a comprehensive range of tests and diplomas recognised as official French language qualifications throughout Europe and other French speaking countries.
- Of our annual Berthe Mouchette Competition attracting over 13,000 students of French in Victoria, the largest of its kind in the world, open to students of French from Yr3 to Yr12.
- To be the sole French cultural centre in Victoria. In this role, we organise and promote major cultural events such as the Alliance francaise French Film Festival, concerts, performances, art exhibitions, and conferences as well as celebrating notable dates in the French calendar such as Fete de la musique, Beaujolais Nouveau and Bastille Day.

I absolutely love attending French class at the Alliance. I have had a range of teachers as I have progressed through the courses and all have been eminently qualified.
Don't get me wrong, the courses are not a cake walk and there is homework involved each weel, but if you are wanting to learn a language there is no other place I would recommend to enrol.
French is a beautiful language and the Alliance makes an effort to involve you in the culture as much as the word with festive and artistic events throughout the year.
Wanting to polish my high-school French and pursue an interest outside work, I began attending this reputable French class in the heart of St Kilda. The classes are deliberately kept small to ensure maximum attention is given to the students, and the teachers are predominantly native French speakers. Whilst people may usually shrug off the latter, it really does make a difference in terms of understanding the true French culture and its idiosyncrasies. The classes are a combination of speaking in French in front of the class, followed by lessons in grammar and further understanding of its culture. After a year and a half of attending the classes, I have noticed a significant improvement in my understanding of the French language and its culture. Highly recommend the classes!!
