What is the Alliance Française?

For the past 135 years or so, the Alliance Française network has been offering French language courses, promoting French and French-speaking cultures and 
encouraging intercultural dialogue and exchanges throughout the world.
 It is the first French-language school and the first cultural NGO in the world.
 Each Alliance Française centre is a non-profit, local law association.

The Alliance Française de Pretoria

Established in 1951, the Alliance Française Pretoria is a non-profit organization, welcoming you in a beautiful Victorian House (historical monument). It’s located at the hub of diplomatic embassies and Loftus stadium, with secure parking and friendly staff. It’s an ideal place to learn French, at your own pace according to your personal objectives. Our teachers are trained to use all communicative methods and will pass on their love of the language to you in a professional and relaxed atmosphere.

Our Team

The Alliance Française team represents diversity. They all share their passion for the French language, which is either a mother tongue to them or their language of education. However, they got hooked on the language, they love it and love sharing it with people.

Our teachers are qualified teachers, either holders of Masters in teaching French as a Foreign Language or trained through various programmes implemented through the Embassy of France in South Africa and training centres in France. We even have teachers who are accredited trainers of trainers and who deliver teacher trainings in schools and universities, in the whole of Southern Africa. Our teachers are never alone and can benefit from the skills of those trainers of trainers on a daily basis.

Most of our teachers are also accredited assessors, either of the DELF/DALF exams. Some of our teachers have worked or work for French Departments in South African universities as lecturers or as external examiners.
