Alliance Française du Bengale

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Alliance Française du Bengale, a cultural and educational center located at Park Street, Kolkata.

I am one of the team leads of Greenovation Club MSIT, a social club that aims to promote sustainability in collaboration with GBIN and SwitchON Foundation.

We attended a meeting there about various aspects of sustainability, such as renewable energy, circular economy, pollution control, and sustainable agriculture.

The meeting was informative and engaging, and we learned a lot from the speakers and the participants. The place was also very nice, with a spacious auditorium, a library, and a café. We enjoyed a complimentary food session 🍜🍱 at the end, where we had some delicious snacks and beverages.

It was a great experience and I would recommend anyone interested in sustainability and French culture to visit the Alliance Française du Bengale.

This is the official and only place to learn French the proper way, especially in Kolkata. This is the best bet for you to learn any useful French. The building itself is situated in Park street, very old and a treat for the eyes. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
They also hold a lot of activities and meets where we can learn about French celebrations, holidays etc. Campus France is also associated to them Anushka the receptionist, is really sweet and makes sure, the person calling is updated with the proper info.

The official place for learning French in the City of Joy.

The best place to learn French in Kolkata, by far. I did both basic levels (A1 and A2) here, which prepared me sufficiently to live and communicate in France, now.
While the courses are indeed expensive, the teachers are excellent and the library is quite expansive, with resources for all levels.

the best place in kolkata for french :)
the teachers explain very thoroughly, there's a vast collection of books in the library—ranging from easy stories to translated books to famous novels. there's also a good collection of french films which the students watch in the class once in a while. it's a great environment and i look forward to every class.i'm a student of b1.1—almost a year since i joined and i've NEVER been disappointed by the teaching.

I am a student of this institution for 2 months and so far so good. The best French learning institute, teaching is amazing, the professors are friendly and really helpful, the ambience the people both Indian and French are amazing and really joyous. If you want to learn quality French please do attend the classes of this institution. You'll be learning a lot!

Its a lovely place for learning French culture. There is a library where u can see books up. You can also enroll in the classes. As an educational institution its pretty equipped with clean washroom, tables to sit and u can get a cup of coffee or tea at your own expense

Best Place to learn French Language in Kolkata . A big library is there with many rare and different types of French books .The teachers are very good with a special mention for Bhavna Mam & Amitava Sir.. 6-8 hours of immersion intensive classes with Speaking , Writing , Grammar and Reading and Listening .
It is also the centre for DELF in Kolkata..It is carrying the rich heritage of Park Mansion together with French Culture .I have completed till B1.1 Mostly I have got very good teachers.. The environment and way of teaching is very good..

Cons - some of the teachers just waste time with unwanted gossips.Fees are very high so they don't realise that we are paying a high amount for one hour . In one day if there is 3-4 hours they simply just can't waste that with their gossips and household stories..But there are very professional teachers in this institute also.Only a few are like this.Teacher distribution according to the course is not good.You can be unlucky sometimes just like I was when I was learning B1.
Rates are in par with Goethe institute but the amenities and qualities are not exactly the same...It should reduce the tuition fees or can improve the quality of teaching by terminating few unwanted teachers.
Over all it can be the best for French if you get good teachers..plenty of teachers are associated with Alliance.
If you want to learn French ...this is the ideal place to achieve that.

Located in the premises of the Park Mansion, the building itself will transport you back in time. For an antiquarian, that itself feels calming. The staff is very approachable and helpful. The courses are invigorating and enriching because of the wonderful teachers and curriculum design.

Just love this place. The best place to learn French. Weekdays as well as weekend classes are available but there might not be multiple options for upper levels due to lack of students for a batch. Along with classes, there are other workshops, movie screenings and other cultural programmes. A gaming Xbox is available for members to play. There is a library for members which includes books, journals, newspapers as well as movie DVDs. Most of the workshops and programmes are open to all. The ambience is amazing and lively.

This is the best place in Kolkata to learn French and acquaint yourself with the French culture. Their teaching methods are excellent and the take utmost care and patience in teaching the newbies. It's definitely worth the money!

Good place to learn French language. If you join in this language school you can participate lots of different activities which are too helpful to improve your vocabulary, skills, communication power and lot of other things.

Super friendly institute with totally rad French courses. Home to a diverse spectrum of socio-cultural events, happenings, workshops, exhibitions and festivals. So conveniently placed literally in the centre of Calcutta.

Afb changed my life forever, one can see the legendary Asit Baran Roy , the greatest pedagogue i ever came across in my academic career. I reminisce of my past at AFB. It’s indeed the finest place to learn french in city of joy.

Undoubtedly the best centre for French language and culture in Kolkata. Tuition fees are a bit high, but teaching methods and assessment is impeccable.

Extremely high tuition fee with degrading quality, especially the online classes. The tuition hours are not clearly mentioned and extremely short especially for B1. But there's no reduction in fee with the reduction in time. Gradually getting disappointed.

I am a full time student at Alliance Française du Bengale. And it has been a great overall experience so far. Highly recommended.

It's like the best place to learn French... As they always say... They teach French in the French way!!!

Nice place, good ambience. The teachers and the staffs are very helpful...

It's great inspiration for Eastern India in terms of French language education.
