Online courses
CREA-Langues is changing its way of working in 2022.
From now onwards, Catherine, who’s been working with CREA-Langues for twenty years as teacher and head of didactics, is offering online courses via her own company.
You can contact her directly at acteslangues@gmail.com to enroll.
Information about the different online courses and prices, which can be found below, remains unchanged.
These courses remain true to our way of teaching on site :
. lessons for small groups
. experienced and involved teachers
. focus on quality of oral expression and comprehension
. emphasis on pronunciation
. a wide variety of teaching material
. personalized corrections and monitoring
Maximum 4 people for group classes.
Classes will be given by our permanent teachers : Catherine, also head of education, and Emmanuelle, our pedagogy assistant. Both have a degree in teaching French as a foreign language and have long experience. Their courses are among the most appreciated by our students. Catherine conducts a preliminary interview with each participant to determine his or her level and objectives.
In order to devote as much time as possible to oral expression during the course, the teacher will provide you with various documents to prepare it: short video to watch, text to read, exercises to do. You should therefore plan personal work time before or after each class.
For those who have not yet sampled the delights of an immersion course with us, our online courses will allow you to learn more about CREA-Langues and the high standard of teaching which we pride ourselves. We also hope, when the time comes, to welcome you in person to our beautiful region of Provence.
Beyond the programs proposed, we can develop a tailor-made online module for small groups.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any specific request.

Testimonials
Lynne Ch. (US)
“Quelle semaine de travail avec Catherine et Emma, professeurs de CREA-Langues ! Les cours en ligne ont dépassé toutes mes attentes. Le programme est plein de sujets divers et intéressants, j’en ai tellement profité ! Il me tarde de reprendre les cours en Provence !”
Noël F. (Australie)
“Bien sûr nous n'avons pas eu les bons plats de Christophe et les visites de la région mais c'était super ! J'ai apprécié aussi les corrections régulières.”
Barbara V. (Allemagne)
“C'est avec grand plaisir que j'ai participé au premier cours numérique. Catherine et Emmanuelle ont vraiment tout préparé pour nous de façon magnifique - c'était la vraie ambiance ‘Monastère-CREA-Langues’.”
“Le cours ‘Culture et Actualités’ était le troisième cours numérique auquel j'ai participé avec CREA-Langues. Nous avons communiqué de façon très vivante avec Catherine, notre professeur et entre nous. Le cours nous a conduites dans le domaine merveilleux de la littérature française contemporaine. Catherine a tout préparé pour nous avec le plus grand soin, son choix par rapport aux écrivains était très équilibré. Nous avons travaillé ensemble sur des écrivains que l'on pourrait à juste titre appeler les "piliers" de la littérature française, mais nous avons aussi appris que chacune d'entre nous avait ses écrivains préférés. J’attends avec impatience le prochain cours.”
Sarah B. (Australie)
“J'ai beaucoup aimé ce cours, un petit groupe de 3 personnes avec un niveau assez similaire, des sujets de discussions intéressants. J'ai aussi apprécié la méthode : des corrections après les discussions et un suivi d'un cours sur l'autre. Il y avait un fil !”
Jacqui H. (Australie)
“Merveilleux, formidable. Cela m'a apporté encore plus que j'avais imaginé ; des professeurs d'excellence !”
Brian G. (Etats-Unis)
“Un grand merci à vous deux pour l'excellent cours de cette semaine. Il était évident pour tous les étudiants que vous avez travaillé beaucoup pour préparer le matériel. Les petites corrections de grammaire et de vocabulaire ont été très utiles et non intrusives.”
