These courses are intended for full-year international students in Grenoble with a need to improve their French language skills. If a student has a good command of French, GUEST Program language courses may not be appropriate as some of the content may already have been covered by previous French courses taken. Students cannot enroll in GUEST Program language courses part-time; they must enroll in the language courses entirely during the first semester. Grenoble's GUEST Program and Language Options
