Alliance Francaise de Hawaii

Alliance Française de Hawaii is the official center for French language education and francophone culture serving Honolulu, HI and the Hawaiian islands. Since its formation in 1961, AFH has provided comprehensive French language instruction through classes designed for both adults and children, along with a placement testing system to ensure appropriate skill level placement. The organization maintains a robust educational program that extends beyond traditional classroom instruction, offering multiple conversation groups where learners practice speaking French in welcoming, social settings—both in-person and online via Zoom. AFH's educational initiatives include a semi-annual Immersion Day Program designed to deepen language proficiency and cultural understanding. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, AFH is committed to making French language study accessible to the Honolulu community while also supporting broader cultural exchange. The organization funds and encourages programs enabling Hawaii students and teachers to study in France and French-speaking countries, creating pathways for immersive learning experiences. AFH's volunteer-led structure, with officers and directors serving without compensation, demonstrates the community's genuine commitment to French language preservation and cultural education. Whether you're a beginner seeking foundational French skills or an advanced speaker looking to refine your fluency, Alliance Française de Hawaii provides the instruction, community, and cultural programming necessary to achieve your language goals.
