Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality and the duration of your course. EU/EEA citizens do not require a visa for language stays. For non-EU citizens, a tourist visa allows you to study for up to 90 days.

If you plan to stay longer or join our Work & Study programme, you will need to apply for a long-stay visa (Visa de Long Séjour) before arriving in France. SPRACHCAFFE provides a Letter of Acceptance and supports you with the necessary documentation to apply. We recommend checking the latest requirements with the French consulate in your country.

If you hold a long-stay student visa for France, you are generally allowed to work up to 964 hours per year (about 20 hours per week). This applies only if your course meets the official criteria for higher education. SPRACHCAFFE's long-term and Work & Study programmes may qualify.

However, short-term course students or those on tourist visas are not permitted to work. We support our long-term students by helping them with CV preparation and basic job search advice to ease their entry into the local job market.

At SPRACHCAFFE, French lessons are designed to be interactive, varied, and effective, with a clear focus on communication in real-life everyday situations. Classes are taught by qualified native-speaking or bilingual teachers who create an open and supportive learning environment where all participants feel comfortable.

Lessons take place in small international groups, usually with 10 to 15 participants. This allows plenty of room for personal attention, active interaction, and collaborative learning. The curriculum focuses on speaking, listening, vocabulary development, and practical grammar, and includes a wide range of interactive exercises, role plays, and real-life examples.

Modern teaching methods and up-to-date materials are used and are tailored to the language level, age group, and individual learning pace. In addition to traditional course books, cultural topics, music, projects, and conversations from everyday life are also integrated into the lessons.

Learning continues beyond the classroom as well - through organized activities, excursions, and social events where participants can apply their language skills in real-life situations. This practical, hands-on approach supports long-term learning success and builds confidence in using the language.

Yes, adult supervision is always provided on SPRACHCAFFE student trips. Our teamers are with the students throughout the day - during lessons, meals, and activities. They ensure everyone is safe, having fun, and sticking to the schedule. Even during free time, there are clear rules and staff nearby to keep an eye on everything.

We maintain an excellent staff-to-student ratio, so everyone receives attention and support whenever needed. The team is trained to work with teenagers and is available around the clock in case anything comes up. Parents don't need to worry - their children are in good hands. With supervision taken care of, students can simply relax, learn, and enjoy their adventure in France!

France is easy and convenient to reach, no matter where you are coming from. As one of the best-connected countries in Europe, France welcomes language enthusiasts with excellent infrastructure and reliable transport options.
