Paris Language Institute
A crossroads of language and cultures
Founded in 2024, Paris Language Institute is the fruit of a shared passion for languages, following a long teaching and cultural collaboration between France and Norway.
We are four associates and friends who share a longstanding love of the French language and culture. We decided to offer the best of our teaching expertise and intercultural transmission in the heart of Paris.
It is within this framework that we offer first-class teaching in a warm and friendly learning atmosphere, as well as an interesting social and cultural programme.

Our method adapts to individual needs. It assesses performance and adjusts content accordingly, offering a personalised learning experience.
