To help you find the right French lessons for your child, EFNY classes fall into two categories:
For bilingual children who already speak and understand French comfortably and can follow a French-only class.
Focus: reading, writing, grammar, oral expression, and thematic/cultural subjects taught entirely in French.
For children who are new to French or still building foundational language skills.
Focus: speaking, listening comprehension, vocabulary building, and confidence through interactive, playful learning.
French for Native / Fluent Speakers
This class is designed for bilingual children who already understand and speak French. All activities are conducted fully in French and focus on developing clear, rich, and organized oral language. Students learn to listen attentively, understand messages, and respond appropriately. They are introduced to the alphabet, early phonics, and the first steps of reading and writing in French, laying the foundation for confident literacy in both languages.
Speak up, prepare your arguments, and shine! Students learn to debate with logic, humor, and confidence. Topics reflect their real interests — friendship, school, environment — making French a lively, meaningful language to defend and enjoy.
French as a Second Language
This class introduces young learners to spoken French through simple, age-appropriate activities. Students learn to express short phrases in everyday situations through stories, creative projects, songs, and games. A gentle and natural introduction to French.
Open to All Students

A calm and relaxed time after EFNY classes: students may read, play, or work on homework. A peaceful moment to unwind, focus, or share — always in a caring environment.
