L'École Française Chicago

Fantastic experience: I have not been to this school myself but I can tell you this is the place to go if you need patience, compassion and understanding while learning French. My mom fell while crossing the street and one of the teachers did not hesitate to come outside to check on her, bring her in and grab the first aid kit to help her with her injured forehead. That is the type of teacher that I'd want while doing the task of learning a new beautiful language and culture. He offered my friends and I water while we waited for my mom and we got to talking to another sweet teacher. The first teacher also let my mom take her time to clean up and did not rush us at all. He was genuinely worried. More than ever right now we need to come together with love and I felt that here. Thank you to this school, I am forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: L'École Française Chicago is a fantastic place to learn French, and I can't recommend it enough!! The two teachers I have had- Daphné and Justine- are wonderful, patient, and kind. Each class has the perfect mixture of studying grammar/vocab and practicing conversation. Thank you for helping me prepare for my master's degree in France!!

Fantastic experience: This is the best school to learn French in Chicago!! The ambiance is truly welcoming and the structure of the class is very clear! I’ve been a student now for almost 2 years and plan to continue going for as many years until I hopefully become fluent hahaha. I look forward to my class every week!!! Highly recommend for those who want to learn French, but also learn about the French culture, debate, and even more. The teachers are wonderful and the classes really are so personal with not too many students.

Negative experience: I totally don’t recommend this place. Less patience!! Didn’t really helpful!!! Never pick up the phone!!! I try to call. They never answer the phone no matter when you call. They want just text only! I hate text because sometimes it’s hard to communicate right! This is would be my first time with France language. Everything was totally new for me. Of course I’m worried and nervous that I wouldn’t be able to understand. I just want to reach out to them and ask what should I prepare before class start or should I reading some books or should I have to purchase something to get ready. At least know how the class look like. But the person who text to me just less patience and try to bring up the policy that they won’t tell anything before 24 hours of class. Didn’t check my information that I already registered class about a month ago. They don’t try to understand and have enough patience to explain rather than type the frustrated answers and show their anger judging me and kick me out by give me refund. How they can teach people? Don’t understand why this place so heartless and helpless. The only thing that I can think is they just need your money. They don’t even care what you will get if you take class with them. Very disappointed!!!!

Fantastic experience: L'École Française Chicago is an exceptional place for anyone looking to learn French! Erwan and Daphne are truly outstanding teachers. Their passion for the language and culture shines through in every class, making the learning experience both engaging and enjoyable. Erwan's explanations are clear and insightful, while Daphne's enthusiasm makes every lesson fun and interactive. One of the best aspects is the convenience of online classes. Whether you’re at home or on the go, you can easily join the sessions from anywhere, which is perfect for busy schedules. The classes are well-structured, allowing you to progress at a comfortable pace while still challenging you. Meeting new people in class adds to the fun, creating a lively and supportive community. With the skills and confidence gained at L'École Française, you'll be ready to immerse yourself in the culture of France or any French-speaking country with ease. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to master French and enjoy the journey!
