Overview
alpha.b teaches at 2 rue d’Angleterre in central Nice. Its Continuous course suits learners who want regular general French while keeping part of the day free for practice outside class. The school also offers an Intensive format with extra sessions and a combined option with individual lessons. Class times can shift in busy periods, so check your timetable before arranging work, travel or activities. The school publishes fixed intake dates for absolute beginners and a separate calendar for learners who already speak some French. Its programme list also includes age-focused courses, including 30+ and 50+ formats. A student comparing these with Continuous French should check the dates and study hours of the specific option. The central Nice setting suits someone who wants to combine general French with time outside class, while the combined course adds individual time for particular goals. The student handbook identifies a private garden with benches that can be used between classes.

Accommodation
The school lists both a half-board host family and a self-catering French host, so compare meal access as well as price. A residence or private option is a separate category with different rates. Confirm the bathroom and laundry arrangements, travel time to rue d’Angleterre, and the arrival and checkout dates for the individual room. A host room with no meals suits students who are comfortable planning meals and shopping on their own. Before accepting, check how kitchen use is arranged. A residence may suit learners who prefer an independent routine, but check its room facilities and contract separately. Host-family and residence prices should be compared for the same arrival and departure dates.
