Picking up French again as an adult in Doonbeakin

French is the foreign language most people in Ireland studied at school, and many adults keep a buried base of vocabulary and grammar. A tutor helps you revive it quickly in Doonbeakin or online: a first lesson to assess what is left, then conversation from day one, with grammar reviewed as needed rather than in long drills.

For a complete beginner, French takes about 600 to 750 class hours to reach a working level, according to the FSI. The spelling and the silent letters take some time, the vocabulary much less: thousands of English words come from French. Two lessons a week and a French series in the evening bring most learners to a comfortable B1 within eighteen months.

The Alliance Française in Dublin runs courses at every level, in class and online, and is the main French cultural centre in the country; universities and ETBs run evening courses in other cities and towns. A term of group lessons costs roughly €250 to €400. A private French tutor in County Sligo charges €25 to €45 an hour, a little more for business French.

Online, native tutors from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Québec or West Africa charge €10 to €30 an hour, with a discounted first lesson. Choose the accent of the country you aim for if you have one; otherwise, any well-trained tutor will do.

DELF, DALF, TCF or TEF: which French exam to take

The DELF (A1 to B2) and the DALF (C1, C2), issued by the French Ministry of Education, never expire and are taken at the Alliance Française in Dublin. B2 is the usual requirement for French universities. The TCF and the TEF are tests with a score valid for two years, used for French nationality, residence permits and immigration to Canada and Québec.

If you are applying to Canada, check which test the programme accepts before you book: the TEF Canada and the TCF Canada are both recognised. A tutor who prepares the format, with timed listening and speaking tasks, can raise a score by a level in a few weeks, wherever you live in Connacht.

French courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week, all year

The most common pace for adults: it keeps motivation up and gains about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one or two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Conversation only, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news and your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

French courses in Doonbeakin: common questions

Can I use my school French to start at intermediate level?

Often, yes. Many adults who did French for the Leaving Certificate test at A2 or B1 after a few refresher sessions. Ask the tutor or school for a level test before enrolling, so you do not repeat what you already know.

Where can I sit the DELF in Ireland?

The Alliance Française in Dublin is the exam centre for the DELF and DALF, with several sessions a year. Register a few weeks in advance; your tutor can help you choose the level that matches your current French.
