“The teachers there are very friendly, all the time, they answer every single question, and they are very knowledgeable when a question is asked. They are well-balanced and do a lot of activities in class, it never gets boring and you are challenged with everything you possibly can. You also get an insight into the regional studies and culture of France if you want.”
Disliked
“There were a lot of guests in the homestay. Six guests in total! And of very different ages. I needed some time to get used to that. It was a challenge, at least for me, and it bothered me that the two young people didn't get enough attention, and they were resented for not liking the foreign food that much. I think that sometimes the guests and hosts were careless and a bit rude towards me, but that's just a small point. It was not that bad.”

“My 50+ group was awesome! There was total harmony. With our excursions together and our lessons until lunchtime, we forged a community that I'm sure we will all remember for a long time. Reggy at reception, is the good soul of the school. All the teachers are professional and made the lessons (including grammar) interesting.”

“The focus is very much on conversation and active use of the language. Most of the assignments are done in small groups, so you get to talk a lot. In my course, great care was also taken to ensure that the teams do not speak the same mother tongue, so that you definitely speak French with each other.”

“Everything mentioned with 4 or 5 ☆. All the staff always very attentive and predisposed to provide the best attention. The best teacher, in every way, was Alex.”
Disliked
“My first week was practically lost in terms of my learning, since the course was aimed at young university students with a higher language level than mine and with activities accordingly. I think they should have put me in a lower level. The teacher spoke very fast and I could not understand anything. Her response to my comment was “I speak like this”. The +50 course was very good, especially the second week, since the group went from 13 to 6 students. A pleasant atmosphere of camaraderie was generated. Due to the hyper-communicative system of the school, grammar is only done in the form of an explanation, an exercise and ...make do with the online practices. As a negative note I noticed a certain anti-German spirit (partly understandable, but they should hide it), in the case of comments out of place of a teacher addressed to a German student directly and I did not find the movie “THE NAME”, very funny for me, but if I had been German it was to get up and leave.”

Insider tip: “The classroom teaching is divided in a good way with one and a half hours of teaching and a break of half an hour. There was a good mix of conversation, group work. Personally, I do not think a group should be more than 2-3 people. Some students are not very motivated or just afflicted with ADHD or really introverted and it is difficult to work with them. But it's not the school's fault ”

Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: The intensive course is very well organized with sufficient breaks between sessions. Not many places to eat around the school so you need to bring your own lunch or rely on one or two bakeries.
