One on one class

just enjoy the city

1) I don't really like the group classes due to other students attitude (late for class and lying on the table during classes) 2) I didn't appreciate my stay with the family in Lyon: they were more interested in practising English with me, the heater didn't work in my room and there were several times I got very poor breakfast with only a few small slices of bread.

creative teachers, full of energy, personal approach

Not anything in particular but I liked the professional approch the teachers have.

No.

I did not get what I hoped but that is not because of the schole but because of the old man there is trying to learn France.

Teachers

Their friendliness and the activities they organised outside the school. The clases were really good too!

I think it's very important that the course information is in the source language. If it comes in the language you study, how are we supposed to understand? The school contacted me in French and English. Since I was going to study a basic level, should have worked a little more. Thank you.

The way of teaching was very good! I recommend this school to everyone!!

the friendly atmosphere, and social interaction with the other students

Try speaking french all the time, even if it's easier to speak English, that's the only way to learn the language, and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

The teachers and the staff and the social activities.

I really liked studying French at Lyon Bleu and I appreciated my teacher a lot.

Everything!

The friendly, welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are very approachable.

Very good teachers, well organised, good location and nice building.

I had a fantastic 2 months in Lyon, I wouldn't change a thing!

Close to shops and public transportation. Competent teachers and nice classmates.

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.

The way of teaching.

Small classes and good teachers.

2 hours 15 min lessons without a break in the afternoon is too much. The students had very few possibilities to speak french themselves. We just had to listen to the teacher. Large group(12 students)

great teachers

Seniors course - Some more afternoon activities to encourage communication in french would be good.

Enthusiastic teaching

Although the teaching was excellent, I found the comprehension exercises too difficult for my standard. Other aspects (grammar, written work etc) were very good.

the classes

start investigating Lyon immediately

the kitchen in the apartment was very very tiny and not very well equipped. Fine if you wanted to heat up meals that were already prepared, but real 'cooking' was too difficult to do.

teacher

Small classes, effective tutoring

I stayed in CISL, which was good and cheap but miles away from the school. There was a transport strike at that time so I ended up taking the taxi a lot. If possible , stay in town!

The level of the instruction was perfect for our group.

I was very pleased with the classes as well as the accommodations. I stayed in the student housing and was very happy with the room and the location in the city.

Level of teaching, approachable staff.

There are early and late morning as well as afternoon studying sessions.

Well done! Thanks for your effort, helped me a lot :)

Meeting and hanging out with the other students.

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.

good learning materials and understandable lessons

teaching

Friendliness of the teachers, very approachable

The nice spirit of the teachers.

Also I would have appreciated having done the written test earlier so I didn't miss a day of class. Everyone was very helpful and the students were there to learn (unlike other language schools where half the people didnt show up sometimes).

Hang around and get to know the other students after class or at activities

very capable teachers

motivated and helpful teachers

teachers were really good

small class size, excellent rapport between teachers and students, variety of engaging classroom activities

teachers and staff are happy to help with any aspects of your stay in France (questions about culture, city life, traveling, etc.)

The teachers

Very good school- the small classes really make the difference

the teachers

the social activities, while limited, were great; if possible find a way to visit the area outside of Lyon

The only real problem I had was that they didn't have any CDs or tapes that I could take back to my host home to listen to at night or over the weekend. Since I had and still have the most difficulty understanding spoken French, this would have been a major help to me.

international students

be prepared
