Our fall classes for adult learners (18+) are officially open for registration!

Join our live, interactive French class designed for adults who want to learn, connect, and grow. From absolute beginners to advanced speakers, our small-group sessions offer cultural discovery, meaningful conversation, and a supportive community of fellow learners.

At the French Language Institute of Boulder, we offer French classes for adults that are engaging, conversational, and refreshingly different. Whether you’re brushing up on your French for an upcoming trip, reconnecting with a long-lost passion, or diving into the language for the very first time, you’ll find a class that meets you where you are—no grammar drills or dull lectures here. Our sessions are interactive, energizing, and rooted in real-life communication, with just the right balance of structure and spontaneity. You’ll explore language through conversation, culture, humor, and hands-on practice—all in a warm, supportive setting. We believe learning French as an adult should be just as joyful, stimulating, and rewarding as it is for kids—if not more.

As we prepare for the upcoming session, we’re currently in the process of securing a convenient location for our in-person classes in Central/South Boulder. We’re working diligently to secure a space that best serves our students and families, and we’ll be sure to update our website and email all enrolled students as soon as our location is confirmed. Thank you for your patience—we’re excited for what’s to come!

*As a warm welcome to our community, enjoy $50 discount for family enrollment, available when one or more parents enroll along with their child or children. Use code FAMILYFRENCH50 to apply this offer. (One family discount per household.)

Please note: Only one discount code may be applied per order, and each discount may be used only once. So if you’re enrolling both yourself and your children, you may wish to place separate orders—one to apply the $50 family discount and another to use the $35 sibling discount (for every child after the first).
