How many French classes should I take per week?

As many as you can. Preferably 2 lessons twice a week

Hi Shannon, in order to reach a B1 level you need a minimum of 4 hours per week, so you should probably have a two-hour class twice per week . It's a lot of material you need to acquire. It will also require a lot of work and studying on your part. I hope this responds to your question! Good luck and happy learning!

Dear Shannon In order to complete a level B1, you need to master a total of three levels of language. Levels A1, A2, and B1 encompass at least 120 hours each, depending on how much work you can assume on your own. Usually, studying 10 hours a week with a teacher, and then asssuming another 10 hours of practice a week yourself, you can complete each level in about 3 months each. I hope this clarifies you questions. Please look at a description of language levels using google... Yorka Bosisio

Hi Shannon, if you are a total beginner now, to reach a B1 level I would say you need 1h30 or 2 hours twice a week, so 3 or 4 hours a week in total. I hope this can help you

Level B1 is a lower intermediate level of knowledge. It requires a sound understanding of grammatical structures, receptive and productive language. Depending on how much time you have available I would recommend four to five hours a week from beginner or ab initio, including self study, for at least six months. Once you are confident grammatically and with vocabulary, read as much as possible and listen to French broadcasts. Happy learning! Oh! And find a French pen pal for mutual language exchange!

Hello Shannnon, I should say at least 1h1/2 twice a week

1 to 3 lessons per week

Hi You should take one class in a week at the beginning then 2 classes

Two hours daily, five times a week will help

Hi Shannon, to progress from beginner to B1 in less than a year is a tall order! You could try and commit to 2 lessons per week but that means lots of homework and practice on your part too. Luckily there are plenty of exercises and guides available for self-study but you can't beat 1-1 tuition!

Dear Shannon, B1 is a low level so if you are dedicated and want to achieve it, you will! I would suggest 2 x 1hr a week, plus doing homework and playing online games, such as Duolingo, which will add another element to your learning. Best of luck!

At least 2 sessions of 2 hours can help you.

You can take twice a week for one and half hour each time.

For effective progress, I recommend taking at least 2-3 classes per week. This frequency allows time to absorb new material and practice speaking, listening, and writing skills between lessons. However, the ideal number may vary based on your current level, goals, and availability.

at least 2 classes per week

Hi Shannon, Listen to French constantly at home. Take lessons nearly everyday. B1=fluent.

A min of 300 hrs is required to get to B1 Level. Planning 10 hrs per week will make 30 weeks roughly around 7 months.

Dear Shannon, Minimum of one hour per week ideally depending on your goal. Two hours per week yield faster results.

Hi, hope you're okay sorry for being so late. I think you should have minimum of 2 to 3 classes per week for the beginning then you can add classes over time

According to me, it will be better to take atleast 3 days/week to become more fluent.

Hello, Once a week as a minimum but it depends on how much time you have for more,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

September 2025? You should calculate the time of study and the classes. If you do two times a week it takes 2-3 months. You are on time if it is for sep 25

Hi Shannon, hope you have been getting some good feedback from the answers already posted ! My view is to think of this as somewhere between higher GCSE and A Level if you have already taken a French ... and the reality is that you need to be on the higher level to get the most out of the Brussels course. So, the real answer is to find a coach who can do an audit with you on where you are with your French, how you learn and your willingness and aptitude to improve to that level ... Bon courage with it all, regards, Paul Austin

Hello Shannon. To attain a B1 in French you'll need to be able to express yourself confidently. I mean confidence across the four communication skills: listening, writing, reading and speaking. I'll recommend 12 hours of study a week. That would be 4 to 6 hours a week with a tutor and 6 or more hours of independent study. Thank you. Kind regards.

You should have at least 3 classes a week. Two is the minimum.

I think 3 lessons each week should be enough. Each lesson should be for an hour. You might need to study in between lessons.

Hi Shannon, to attain a B1 level in French, you'll need a minimum of 3 hours /week with homework around 1:1 sessions. B1 level means 'fluentish' in French which is having a good functional speaking, writing and understanding thus, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary.

Hi! I am a French teacher and I recommand 2 hours, to have time to work on the grammar and the other hour to practise French speaking. Angele

Hi Shannon, two hours per week is enough. But it all depends if you do some study outside the lessons. If you are A2, you have to make sure you go through the whole B1 text book and you have 1 year to do it. When having lessons with a tutor, it does speed up learning and you can receive some advice.

3 times per week ti immerse yourself.

I would say around 2 classes per week, 1hour each should be good enough for you to meet your goals. However, you should focus on self learning as well

I think 3 hours a week lesson time would be perfect, of course you would have to add some independent study time every week. If you work hard and enjoy your classes, I'm sure you can reach your B1!

To reach a good level in B1, you need between 300 and 400 hours, but if you can learn faster, you can reach it in less time.

Hi Shannon! Consistency is the key. You should take minimum 2 classes per week. However, you will need to study a bit of everyday like 30 min a day to achieve your goal. Hope this helps!

I need to hear you to talk in french to understand your level. But normally with 2/3 classes par week you will be ready to have a enought conversation in french language ! 💪🏻

Preferably 2 lessons twice a week

I would say at least two per week, plus personal work you should do each day.

Two-hour sessions twice a week alongside independent revision
