Student opinions about Lyon Bleu International, Lyon

Liked
Overall, I was very enthusiastic about the quality of the school. Everything was very well organised, you were well informed about the procedures in advance. On the first day, there was a nice welcome with a friendly assessment of language skills. All of the teachers I experienced were friendly, personable and absolutely professional. My teacher Constance made the lessons very lively, with good, creative ideas. She was able to turn even dry grammar lessons into motivating units with a lot of humour. I also found the afternoon activities good and interesting. I especially liked the French dinner at Chantale's. Absolutely recommended!
Disliked
I had planned the language course in Lyon to get more into speaking. That came up a little short. Since the school also prepares students for the language exams required to study or work in France, the lessons were very grammar-heavy. I can also do that in Germany at the VHS. Tutorials were offered in the afternoons, but far too few for my taste, and you had to register very early to even get in. In class, there was often group work. Of course, we had to speak French, but there was no teacher to correct mistakes. I also found the tests that were given pointless and a waste of time. In my opinion, the school should differentiate more according to the motivation for taking part in the language courses and then adapt the courses accordingly.

I really enjoyed learning the language, good and friendly teachers and a very nice Host family (Janine) and the fact, that you made sure, that you will be in a class with students which are as good (or bad) as you are.
Disliked
It was really good that you offered afternoon activities, although there weren't many things I was interested in. I really enjoyed the city tour by Janine, but that was basically it. But I am also quite young compared to the other students, so I would guess that that was a unique problem. All in all, I learned a lot and I enjoyed spending my free time in the park.

Lyon is a fantastic city worth exploring every nook and cranny. I had lots of time after my morning classes to take in the sights and enjoy my summer in the city.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss If you're staying more than a week, consider getting a Velo'v membership. It's quicker than taking the bus or metro and you'll be able to see more of the city by using the bikes for hire.

Other comments While I enjoyed the interaction with students and teachers, I found it VERY annoying that some students insisted on using their portable electronic dictionaries - I'm sure the teachers found it annoying also.

Other comments Please fix the coffee machine! Kept getting black sweetened coffee when I asked for unsweetened coffee with milk. Trivial, but still frustrating during a short break between classes. There seems to be a large turnover of teachers so wonder about their working conditions and salaries as compared with other schools.

The quality of teaching and the professionalism of the teachers.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Perhaps to not stay with a host family that also works in the school. It is not a good one, then it becomes very sensitive to discuss with their colleagues in the school and ask to change families.

Other comments I think this school is best for those who are a bit self motivated to learn beyond the class, or who have a higher command of the language as the class sizes are a little big, and the curriculum is not well established. Overall the experience with my host family and other students made it worth it.
