| Jeffrey (39 years - 1.Sep.2011) Excellent instructors. Smaller class sizes.. | |
| Scott (36 years - 20.Dec.2010) The teachers are excellent. They build on what students already know and encourage conversation in an informal, light-hearted and friendly manner. Teaching materials and methods focus on real-life scenarios rather than more traditional methods, so students build confidence quickly.. | |
| Natalia (28 years - 25.Aug.2010) Everything, but mostly the teacher, they were well prepared and they spoke only in french with the students. I learn a great deal.. Come prepare to practice your french instead of expecting to learn it there, it goes a little to fast if you are only there for few weeks.. | |
| Wilma (29 years - 7.Dec.2009) That we were only 5 students!important for the progress!. | |
