Alliance Française De Kotte which is newly established at No. 139, Jawatta Road, Colombo 5, has been endorsed by Alliance Française in France as the legitimate and proper institution in Sri Lanka for teaching French language.

“We are confirmed by Alliance Française in France as the only legitimate institution of teaching French language in Colombo. Now Alliance Française De Kotte is the institution with international acclaim to prepare students for DELF and DALF which are certificate and diploma examinations,” speaking at a press briefing Alliance Française De Kotte Director Bertrand Dufieux said.

Going beyond the territories of Colombo, Alliance Française De Kotte has expanded its clusters of branches to Kandy, Galle, Matara and Jaffna with the sole objective of teaching French to Sri Lankans who are willing to learn French irrespective of their ages.

Since Alliance Française De Kotte is obliged to the rules and regulations posed by Alliance Française in France, it enjoys the patronage of Alliance Française of France and the Embassy of France in Sri Lanka and Maldives.

According to French Ambassador to Sri Lanka and Maldives Christine Robichon said Alliance Française De Kotte is going to teach French to Sri Lankan troops who are to be deployed in the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces for the defensive activities in Haiti.

“As Sri Lanka is a country that dispatches troops for United Nations peace-keeping missions in Haiti where French Language is widely spoken Alliance Française De Kotte will be offering them the courses to learn the rudiments of French Language,” added Ambassador when explaining the projects they are to handle in the time to come.
