I really can’t recommend the ILS Zürich highly enough. Everything went smoothly, from the planning right up to exam day. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire exam. I couldn’t have asked for better organization and support. Many thanks to the whole team! 😊

I took a B1 exam. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are modern, new, and clean. We had enough time to prepare between the written and oral exams. Everything was very well organized.

I chose ILS Zürich for my German Telc B1 exam, and they didn't disappoint. Everything was explained clearly before the test, and everything went smoothly during the exam; the woman who proctored the written portion was very friendly and professional. The results were delivered 13 days after the test. I'll be back in a few months for the B2! Thanks a lot

In my opinion, this is the most comprehensive and high-quality language school in Switzerland. Here, we’re not just learning a language—we’re also having a great time. The classrooms are air-conditioned and not crowded; in my previous language course, there were 12 students, but in the class I’m taking here, there are only three of us, and I find that to be a huge advantage. Our teacher, in particular, is very friendly and goes above and beyond to teach us—making the lessons more fun and helping us remember what we learn. If you want to learn a language, I think you should come and try out a trial day. Thank you (Ricardo) :)

I am very pleased with my experience at this school. The classes are well-organized, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the learning process is rigorous yet motivating. I would especially like to mention our teacher, Ricardo, who is an excellent instructor. He is very patient, explains things very clearly, and manages to make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. The lessons are interesting, well-structured, and take place in a relaxed atmosphere where you feel encouraged to speak, ask questions, and learn without fear of making mistakes. Ricardo pays close attention to every student, and it’s clear that he puts his heart into what he does. Thanks to him, the course is much more enjoyable, and I feel like I’ve made real progress. I wholeheartedly recommend this school and, in particular, Ricardo’s classes.

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. A conversation course is designed to fill exactly this gap. Many learners have passive vocabulary and understand French better than they can speak it themselves. In a conversation course, you’ll practice responding more quickly, formulating thoughts spontaneously, and actively using your existing vocabulary in conversations.

Yes. The focus is clearly on oral communication. Through various exercises, you will practice your expression, reasoning, and ability to participate in conversations and discussions. The goal is for you to become increasingly confident in conversing in French and expressing your own opinions.

Yes. Speaking freely on a regular basis can help reduce this uncertainty. A conversation course isn’t about formulating every sentence perfectly. You’ll learn to keep talking despite minor mistakes, to use alternative phrasing, and to express yourself clearly. With more practice, speaking spontaneously usually becomes more natural.

The current French conversation course is designed for levels A1, A2, B1, and B2. Classes are taught in mixed-level groups. As a result, the focus is less on the traditional step-by-step progression through a language level and more on active communication and the practical application of existing knowledge.

The current French conversation course is held online. Classes are scheduled for Mondays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Each course block lasts 6 weeks. This allows you to speak French regularly without having to travel to Zurich for every lesson.

Yes. In this course, you don’t just learn vocabulary—you use it directly in conversations. Through discussions, expressing your opinions, and exploring various conversation topics, you’ll encounter new phrases and practice using them yourself. This can be especially helpful for moving words from your passive vocabulary to your active vocabulary.

No. External participants are also welcome to attend the conversation course. The course is free for ILS students who are already enrolled. External participants currently pay CHF 150 for a 6-week course block.
