Abroadco offers the summer Intensive Language track that is taught entirely at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. After arriving in Paris, students take a placement exam to determine their language level. Students are assigned to either the Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced I, or Advanced II level.

All students enroll in the Cours Pratique French language program. Students will study grammar, reading, and writing comprehension. Along with this, students also enroll in a language lab and phonetics. These courses form a module, and each class must be completed in order for a final grade to be issued.
