Also they were working , to learn vocabulary, on inappropriate topics such as "sustainable economy and pollution. I would have preferred to work on topics like how to live in France, in Paris. Basically I know how to say depopulation and diversification but I don "t know how to say fork and knife...."

Negative aspects
"The classes are extremely heterogeneous in terms of level, with students also changing frequently. This makes it difficult for the teaching staff to facilitate continuous progress and can lead to frustration among the students. In addition, from level B2 onwards, there is no longer any actual offer of learning in a group; thus, individual tuition is indispensable."

Negative aspects
"As a result of Covid there were only two classes whereas normally there are four. As such, if you weren’t a beginner then you were in the other class which meant that there was a real mix of levels in one classroom which led to the more advanced students being held back because of content that was too easy, spending too long on simple subjects or having to wait for less advanced students to catch up. This was particular."

"Join the Tuesday afternoon excursions with other classmates. A good way to meet people and make friends. The Centre Pompidou is right next door and has a fantastic library (closed Tuesday), where you can study. It's open until 11 p.m. Bring a notebook and different coloured pens, also pencils. There are little cafés very near the school, so getting a snack during the morning break is easy."

Other comments
"The chairs don't provide much space on the tiny attached desk. Would prefer a real desk. The class level got increasingly more difficult each Monday when new students joined. I started at level A1, and the class jumped to level A2 after just two weeks. I could handle the grammar alright, but I needed more intensive work on very basic level French verbs, vocabulary, and pronunciation."

"The course was excellent; my teacher Léa is wonderful. She is a very talented and creative teacher, also fun and funny. All of us enjoyed her teaching style and ability to help us learn very much.
Every Monday, new students would join the class, and the class seemed to jump to a higher level each week. Some of us wanted to slow it down to be able to absorb what we'd just learned. However, by Wednesday, the class was generally able to gel and work together on the more complex vocabulary and grammatical forms."
Accommodation
"1st homestay was inconveniently 40-45 minutes away. My room was fine, but the apt was teeny-tiny and jammed with the owner's belongings. I was not allowed even a tiny shelf or a hook in the bathroom to put my things or even a towel. The hostess offered me instant coffee, even though she has a coffee maker. She let me use her coffee maker, but I had to buy my own coffee. I thought that was kind of cheap. The dinners were very nice, though she did not serve wine. I had to buy my own wine, and I felt a little uncomfortable being the only one drinking wine. The 2nd homestay was much more conveniently located, and the hostess was delightful. However, she was on a 3-day grapes-only diet, and dinner was almost nothing during this time (french fries & lettuce only one night!) I chose to eat out several nights, as the food was so terrible. However, the room, the location, and the hostess were all wonderful, so I didn't mind too much, and I would even stay with her again."

"The first assessment was almost impossible. I feel it would be better to give a slightly more accessible assessment and so at least give students a chance to respond to questions and show what they do know.
Excellent teachers but it might have benefited students if there had been more chance to have more 'extensive' one-to-one conversations in class with the teacher. Students might need encouragement in the public domain but that sort of practice is invaluable and because there were sometimes 15 people in the class it might only be a couple of times a week when the teacher could possibly ask a student about their time the previous evening or what they intend that evening or next day etc."

"There were only 2 other Americans besides myself in the 4 weeks I attended. The first class had 8 students. The second class for two weeks was a combination of two different classes by the school and had 16 students. It was way to large and there were very different levels among the individual students. All but one in this very large class were female. In the fourth week, the class had about 10-12 students in it - all female. Most students were young college age 20-somethings. A few of us were in our 40s-50s-60s. Many of the young female students appeared to be from wealthy and privileged backgrounds and circumstances."

"It's a very international school and they are serious about their mission of teaching French to foreigners and getting their students ready to take the required national exams which the French government requires for foreigners who want to work in France.

"I really enjoyed the afternoon instructor, as he was very interesting and engaging. He would make the students stand up and we would perform physical activities, such as acting out scenes and playing charades in French. It was fun and a great way to learn!"

"Intensive course differs from the common not with the program, but with the amount of hours. It seems for me that it's better to take the common course - you learn the same, but you're less tired and can see the city better. If you've suddenly decided to cook your own meals, keep in mind that it's very difficult to find some cereals, except rice in Paris ;)"

"I was disappointed with the homestay family which was one lady who was never there and expected the students to eat in their room. I had hoped for interaction to improve my French but this did not happen. She did not invite the students to Watch TV and we were expected to stay in our rooms if she had guests. However the house was very clean and convenient to the school."

As the school is located in a business district, you can enjoy shopping and sightseeing. You also felt to be a "Pariseienne"."

"This school is great for high school and college/university students, but if you're a little older you might want to look elsewhere. I think you pay a lot for this school's location (near the Louvre), which is fantastic, but the facilities were not that great--during the busy month of June the tiny classrooms were packed and noise from neighboring classrooms and outside construction sometimes made it hard to hear."
