"Jogging around the Hippodrome."
Details of the review
City/place
"Paris is the cultural capital of Europe, excelling in particular in architecture, art, cinema, gastronomy. In recent years, Paris has become increasingly environmentally conscious. Pedestrians, cyclists and buses have been given more space on the streets. Public transport is excellent. The diversity of the inhabitants is evident and I love it."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"Appropriate level."
Accommodation
"Anne is an energetic and educational teacher. She has a warm heart and has lived a long and exciting life, including many years in several African states. She leads an active social life and has many friends. She drove me in her car to interesting sights. I had dinner with her family with her son and granddaughter. She has a great view from her living room window, you can see all of Paris from above. Quiet area with a nice park. Very good communications, near the train station."

"I had many opportunities to speak with French people, as I stayed at teacher's home."
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"If you place priority on the location of a teacher's house, I recommend you to request it clearly in advance. In my case, as the house was located more than 1-hour away from Paris, it was a bit inconvenient."

Other comments
"Thanks to staying at teacher's house, I had many chances to speak French and really enjoyed one-week program. However, since my teacher was a kindergarten teacher, she didn't have enough experiences to teach French to foreigners. Her explanation of the grammar and the pronunciation was quite vague and she excused for her lack of knowledge of teaching. I was not very happy with the aspect."

"Living at your teacher's home forces you to use the language, even after class. But this depends a lot on the teacher."

"I booked four weeks and during that time, I had three teachers. The first one did not challenge me. The classes did not contain business French at all. Additionally, the food was rather simple and due to the snoring Japanese/ Brazilian guests next door I could not sleep too well.
The second teacher in Vert-le-Grand, outside of Paris, was excellent. The stay was really great, linguistically as well as interpersonal. Unfortunately, I had to leave this family as they went on vacation. I am still in contact with them.
MY third teacher was in Versailles. He was very professional and therefore he was rather distanced.
All in all it was OK, especially because of the second family. But you could not notice a language school with a professional and standardized education. The language teachers teach according to their own principles, which meant for the first teacher a very low requirement level. Fortunately, the other teachers had a much better feeling."

"My family was perfect!
I could always get an advice where to go and what place to visit. The lessons were not boring, as the teacher combined grammar with speaking."
