Will the same textbook be used for different modules?

Yes. You do not need to re-purchase the textbook for sub-modules within the same level. For example, Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 usually use the same textbook.

Are there extra costs like entry fees or yearly fees?

No. We do not charge registration, yearly or membership fees. You only pay for lessons and books where required.

I’ve seen very cheap courses online. Can you offer the same price?

French Toast is based in Singapore, with local classrooms and qualified professional staff. We cannot match the prices of online platforms that connect students with random teachers based abroad, but we focus on structured lessons, continuity and local support.

Can I get a refund if I can’t join after registering?

We plan courses according to confirmed student numbers, so attendance matters. However, we understand that plans can change and refunds may be possible in some circumstances. Please check our terms and conditions for details.

I’m a total beginner. Where should I start?

Start with Beginner 1. Our adult levels are divided into modules, and the Beginner pathway builds towards CEFR A1. You can continue module by module or stop after the module that matches your goal.

I learnt French before but I’m not sure of my level. Do you have a placement test?

Yes. You can take our placement test or contact us with background information such as when and how long you studied French. If needed, a teacher can help evaluate your level.

Take the placement test
If I miss a lesson, is there a make-up class?

If you cannot attend a lesson, contact us and we will do our best to find a make-up option. Please note that it is not always possible, especially when no suitable class is running at the same time.

I’m under 18. Can I register for an adult course?

Yes, we welcome everyone. However, adult courses are designed for adult learners, so younger students are usually better placed in children, secondary or JC courses.

My child is 4 years old. Which course should I choose?

For children under 6, our playgroup classes offer fun and educational activities in French. With a native-speaking teacher, your child becomes familiar with French sounds and everyday vocabulary.

My child has learnt French before but I’m not sure of their level. Do you have a placement test?

What is French in lieu of mother tongue?

If your child is exempted from one of Singapore’s official mother tongue languages by MOE, French may be studied in lieu of mother tongue. French Toast supports primary, secondary and JC learners on this pathway.

Do you prepare students for MOELC year-end exams?

We follow the MOELC programme for secondary students, which ultimately prepares learners for O-Level French. Our secondary classes are usually 2 hours per week, so homework and regular practice are very important. Additional lessons may be recommended for full exam preparation.
