Why French?
Four reasons to take French classes
Paris and beyond
French is spoken in 29 countries. Order at a bistro in Lyon, navigate Dakar, or charm your way through Montreal.
Film & entertainment
LA's entertainment industry works with French talent constantly. Patrick Stewart learned his Picard French with us.
Group classes & events
French movie nights, wine tastings, conversation groups. Learning French at Strommen is social, not solitary.
The romance language
Close enough to Spanish and Italian that vocabulary overlaps. If you speak one Romance language, French clicks faster.
Since 2006
French in Los Angeles
Strommen has been teaching French in Los Angeles since 2006. We run both private lessons and group classes — conversation workshops, beginner intensives, movie nights, wine tastings. French is one of our most popular languages, and our instructor roster reflects that. Whether you are preparing for a business trip to Paris, reconnecting with Francophone family, or finally following through on a lifelong dream, we have a tutor or a group that fits.
LA has a long-standing French community centered around the Westside and Beverly Hills. The French consulate is in Beverly Hills, the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles draws families from across the city, and French restaurants, bakeries, and cultural events are everywhere from Brentwood to Silver Lake. A lot of our students are entertainment industry professionals who work with French-speaking talent, parents at French immersion schools, and professionals in luxury, fashion, and hospitality where French is still the prestige language.
Our French tutors and dialect coaches have worked on major film productions, including coaching Patrick Stewart for Star Trek: Picard and Kristen Stewart for Against All Enemies. That same level of precision carries into every lesson. We match you with a native speaker who teaches the way French is actually spoken — not the formal textbook version, but the real thing, with the slang and shortcuts that make you sound like you belong.
“Three months in and I ordered an entire dinner in French in Paris without switching to English once. My waiter actually complimented my accent.”D.M. — French student, travel learner

View Group ScheduleFrench class FAQ
Should I take private or group French classes?
Private classes are more flexible — schedule any time, cancel with 24 hours notice, and the entire hour is focused on you. Group classes follow a set schedule and are more social. We recommend private for rapid progress and group for fun and community. Many students do both.
How long does it take to learn French?
The FSI puts French at Category I — the easiest tier for English speakers. With regular private lessons, most students reach comfortable conversational ability within 6 to 9 months. Ten hours of private classes covers roughly the same ground as a full university semester. We also offer intensive immersion programs for faster results.
Is French hard for English speakers?
French is one of the easier languages for English speakers. About 30% of English vocabulary comes from French, so you already know more words than you think. The pronunciation takes practice — especially the nasal vowels and the French R — but the grammar is more regular than English in many ways. Most students find it accessible from day one.
Can I take French classes online?
Yes. All of our French tutors offer online lessons via Zoom or Google Meet. We also run some group classes online. The results are just as strong as in-person sessions.
Do you offer a free French level test?
Yes — we have a free online CEFR level test for French at strommeninc.com/language-tests/french-level-test/. It takes about 10 minutes and tells you where you are from A1 to C2.
What about French for kids?
We teach French to kids of all ages, including heritage speakers attending French immersion schools like Lycee Francais. Our tutors adjust their approach for younger learners — more games and conversation, less grammar drilling.
