The teachers were professional, entertaining, enthusiastic.

The intensive course starts after lunch and continues into the early evening. It prevents attendance to many social events which are in the afternoon, at the same time as the teaching and in the evening, after several hours of teaching when you need food and a rest.

The course was a serious challenge but an enjoyable experience. I learned quite a lot and was motivated to continue study when I got home.

The teachers!

Great service, great professors, great classmates!

free labratory, excursion with teacher

lessons should be more intensive(too much chating among teacher and students during lesson), better punctuality

The quality of teaching

The only problem is that in a class there are levels too much differents

i was not informed beforehand that there were no classes on november 1st, eventhough I had e-mailed the school in advance for an itenary. I also did not like the topics the teacher covered on Wed and Thur morning and I asked for a transfer of class for the last day on Friday. On wed we discussed "pain" la douleur. This was bad enough for 4 hours, but on Thursday it was the same thing. How boring!!! All other classes were fine and the teachers were nice and friendly.

It was in a very good area, easy to find. The staff were all very nice and helpful.

It is a general course and not exactly tailored to what you require.

I thought the course would be a little more suited to my needs. At the beginning of the week, I filled in a questionnaire to state what I needed help with. These points were never covered.

The tutors and their willingness, ability and readiness to work with foreign students.

The classes were too big. The level of the students is very different and it makes it difficult to make fast progress if there are too many students in each class.

Everything was wonderful. The instructor, the staff, the location of the school is beautiful.

There is a delicious Patisserie near the school called Charles T????? Their mini sandwiches are delicious as are their pastries.

My host was absolutely wonderful. Very welcoming, friendly and encouraging of conversation. The only problem was that it was a bit far from the school. It took about 45 minutes to arrive via the RER and Metro. Otherwise it was perfect. The class was also great. Our teacher Pauline taught us a lot of new phrases we could use in conversation. The only thing I would suggest is to have more time during the class devoted to students conversing with each other in oral exercises so we can practice more during the class. Also maybe more social activities for students to take part in. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Teachers were creative and professional. Even at the absolute beginner level, classes were conducted 99.5% in French. The location was also quite good, in a fairly upscale neighborhood, convenient to reach by public transportation, and within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe.

I did not take part in any of the outings, but they had several available and I heard good things about them from fellow students. Staying in a host family was slightly expensive, but a good choice because I had the opportunity to practice what I was learning at home and to see that I really was progressing. Although Paris is wonderful, if I were to do it again I would try to stay in a much smaller city, where less English would be spoken. Even though I was in a French-speaking country, it was often difficult to practice French because so many people speak English.

I wish that there were more opportunities in class to practice pronunciation. After 3 weeks, I can understand quite a bit of French, but my speaking abilities are comparatively very low.

The helpfulness of the staff, the teacher was helpful also and engaged the whole class, the topics were very interactive and the class friendly and open. The location was perfect.

Professor was great.

Internationalism

There is a phonetic lab, it's free and it's not available for a short period in August!

Right off the Metro. My instructor was exceptional, and I look forward to returning to her class in the future. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Social Activities

Truly immersion at its best.

Classmates and teaching.

The office staff was very helpful and should be commended for their interest in the students and the program.rnMy teacher worked hard at delivering a strong program with the varied levels of ability of the students that she had to instruct. I did like the weekend excursion to the Loire Valley and I think that Claire, who organized it, did a fabulous job and Vincent was also very friendly and helpful during the weekend excursion. Thank you to both of you.

Be careful when selecting host families.rnI heard a lot of negative reports with the quality of food and lodgings that are provided to the students. I think that the host families take advantage of young students who will not complain like older students would. Too bad because this is often the students first experience away from home and parents want it to be pleasant and successful for their children. If it is not a pleasant experience, then people will not recommend to others or want to repeat their studies. Plus, you should receive good value for the money that you are paying.

My classroom was next to the street and noisy and it was very very hot. We had to keep the windows closed so that we could hear each other and the teacher speak. It was an unpleasant learning environment being so hot. The ceiling fans did not help enough and I would often leave the class with a headache. A more appropriate building with air conditioning would be most considerate since these courses are not free. I would not attend in the summer again because of the heat and I would not choose this school at SFax because of the noise level

Excellent teachers and meeting students from all over the world

Most museums offer free admission with the school student card for students under 26. Even for non EU citizens!

My Teacher Marion!!

I learned so much after studying for 3 months at France Langue , I love the school so i am going to study for another 3 months to reach a high level of French!

guided tours

Great teacher and classmates.

meet new people

cite universitaire is the best accomodation!

the social activities and how much I've learned in four weeks

When they finally found the right level for me - which was hard work and took a whole week - I was very happy with the teacher.

The book that costs 25 euros and it can be found used for much less.

Having attended other language schools, I feel they lack options for organised activities based on culture, literature, art history, etc...

GOOD: - facilities, location of school BAD: - lessons are very relaxed and slow, not recommendable for someone who wants to study more intense - school is highly booked during summer, therefore courses are often only available in the afternoon - host families vary a lot, some care very little about the students

The teacher Poline was young but very well-prepared for teaching.

In two weeks of 20 lessons you can make little progress, the courses are not very intensive. They follow a text divided into sections and in a week we only covered a few pronouns, 2 verb forms and a little vocabulary... but after all, the time was very short!
