About
French heritage classes run by AFFB, a parent-run association of French-speaking families in Basel. The core is the canton-recognized HSK course: one weekly lesson in a local public school, working on listening, reading, speaking and writing, with a focus on francophone culture. FLAM small groups of three to five students are the other route for native speakers. Suits kids who speak French at home.
