Student opinions about France Langue Paris Victor Hugo, Paris
Meghan
25 years“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.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss 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.

Other comments 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.

Other comments My only comment is that, when I arrived on the first day of the school, there was no place in the class that suited my level and I had to join the class at a lower level for a week. The alternative to joining evening studies or moving to a school in the Notre Dame area did not suit me. So, my first week of school did not answer my needs while the second and last week was a success.
Hope this will not happen in the future.

Other comments 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!

Other comments Activite, which takes place on Monday and Tuesday is a guided walk through the city of Paris. It is free of charge, but the knowledge of the teachers in the guide is rich and can meet knowledge that can not be obtained only by sightseeing. In addition, it is an opportunity to meet students of various levels as well as your classmates.
