“Both of my teachers, morning and afternoon were very nice and really understanding. I loved their passion for the language and the French culture and how they wanted us to get the most out of our lessons. I also liked how the lessons were taught purely in French, that really helped my listening skills!”

“I really enjoyed the trip and believed it helped my French a lot. It was really good to meet new people and especially to talk to our host.  There was little information that I needed upon arrival which I did not already have from your office.  The facilities at the school were good and it was a nice place to study.  The French lessons were excellent. The test on the first day meant that we were in groups of appropriate ability. The organisation was very good and it was clear who we could ask if we had any problems. My teachers were also really good”
