Class Offerings for Adults Bienvenue à l'Alliance Française d'Albuquerque! The Alliance Française dÃAlbuquerque, founded over 40 years ago, is our local chapter of the international Federation of Alliances Françaises, the largest network of French language and cultural centers in the world. With over 1,000 chapters established in more than 100 countries, the Alliance FranÃaise is dedicated to promoting French language and culture, and to fostering friendly relations between Francophones and Francophiles of all racial, ethnic and national origins. The Alliance School offers courses in French on all levels taught by highly qualified instructors who are native or near-native speakers. Classes meet in our offices, conveniently located between Menaul and Candelaria at 2917 Carlisle NE, suites 207 and 110. (For 207, please use the west entrance at the top of the stairs; for 100, use the south door off the parking lot - look for our buzzer). Minimum enrollment is 5 students; maximum enrollment is 10 students. The textbooks used in each course are available for purchase in our office. Course Descriptions The Alliance School offers two types of courses, both conducted in French. Conversational French language courses introduce students to grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation while emphasizing communication. Advanced seminars are for students who have already studied French and wish to maintain or increase their fluency. Our small classes allow for more personalized attention and active participation in a friendly classroom setting that helps students gain confidence in speaking French. Registration Information It is important to enroll in the right class for you. If this is your first Alliance course, please call 872-9288 for assistance in placement. We will return your call promptly. Whether you are a new or returning student, please register by mail, phone (872-9288) or at the bottom of this page. Discounts are available for early registration. Some classes may be postponed 1-2 weeks until minimum enrollment is reached. You will be contacted by phone or email 2 days before the starting date with a confirmation of your class. Please be sure to have a verbal confirmation from director, Carolyn Simmons, before attending any class. Tuition and Membership Tuition for each course is based on a fee of $9.00 per hour of instruction. Alliance Française membership is required to enroll in our classes, thus new or renewing members are asked to add $20 for a student membership for the 2008 calendar year ($10 after July 1). Members receive our newsletter, have library privileges and are invited to join in our social and cultural activities including lectures, films, dinners, lively celebrations of French holidays and monthly gatherings like Café Causette. We ask that your registration form and payment reach the Director prior to the first day of class. Otherwise, payment is expected at the first class session. PLEASE NOTE: Fees are refundable should the class be cancelled; however, no refunds will be allowed after the first week of class and tuition is not transferable from one session to another.

Rates are $30 for one person, $40 for two people and $48 for three people. After the first meeting, we ask that you pay in advance for 4 sessions.
