No, all the courses are taught in English. However, there are some French culinary terms and specialised vocabulary used for certain cooking techniques and methods which you might need to know and they will be taught in the class. We would recommend students who are interested in learning the French terms to buy a French Culinary Dictionary for future reference purposes or take up French lessons at Alliance Francaise the cultural and art centre arm of the French Embassy.
