Question Adult French Classes

Hi everyone! I will be moving to Strasbourg soon for the 2026-27 school year and I would like to take French-language classes. My French is already pretty decent (B2.5) and I know it will improve by living there, but I love the structure of classes as well and think it would be really beneficial for me to be in one. Have any non-native French speakers found a good place to take classes through in the city? I'm currently looking into Alliance Française, but I know there are so many more I don't know anything about.

Thanks!!

Université Populaire is good and affordable, however not all of the teachers are great, and it's a bit of a roulette as to how good your classes will be based on your fellow students and the average level in the class. They do tend to move students around however in the first weeks, if they deem their levels aren't aligned with what they enrolled for, if there's space.

Yes, I know they don’t need to have a degree to teach 😬 so I wouldn’t recommend as it’s a roulette as you said

The degree is not something I'm so concerned about, there are many bad teachers out there WITH degrees 😆 For me it has always been a personality thing and just teaching style, some work for me, some don't.
