Student reviews about "One-to-One Package 8" at Tours Langues
Jean
"My one on one class was perfect for me since my level of expertise is very uneven due to the fact that I have studied it on my own. Both teachers were excellent and very knowledgeable about the language, as well as flexible with regard to meeting times and places. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I will definitely recommend this school to friends and hope to be back in the future myself.

“A small language school located directly on Place Plumerau in the old town of Tours. Friendly, authentic, and personalized teachers, each with their own unique teaching style, complement each other well. Individual preferences regarding the schedule and timing of private lessons are taken into account. Compared to other highly rated language schools in France, the price is fair.”
“I was at the school for two weeks in March, and due to the off-season, there wasn't much going on yet, and therefore few activities or excursions were offered. Since I wanted to focus on speaking, there were unfortunately no textbooks or anything similar for me to take with me after the course ended. But neither of these things is a big deal; I still highly recommend the school.”

“The teachers and other students are so warm and welcoming. Everyone fits in. The chance to practice conversation was also very helpful.”
“The classes were a little too unstructured. For the grammar, for instance, I would have liked to get a worksheet with the rules, have them explained, practice in class, and then practice at home or the next day with the grammar worksheet to refer to. Instead we got a quick in-class explanation and we're expected to remember and apply the rules with nothing to refer back to.”

“Everyone was always very kind and helpful. It was like a family atmosphere. Teachers, staff and the owner of the school included. I felt supported from the moment I arrived, and I was there for 12 weeks from Oct-Dec 2023.”
“Not a lot of resources outside the classes. Some shelves of DVDs and books to borrow in a couple classrooms, but that's about it.
Also, if you're not at the level of one of the currently ongoing classes, your only option is private lessons, which cut your hours in half. It's a very small school, so there are often only a handful of classes, and they're mostly at the beginner/low-intermediate level, so for advanced learners you'll likely be in private lessons at half the hours like I was.”

“The friendliness of the staff.”
Insider tip: “Go on some of the cheaper excursions with the school if possible, make sure to take the afternoon classes and try to break out of your group if you travel with one.
If you are learning from scratch, I'd suggest trying to stay for at least three months.”

Student reviews about Homestay

"Half board on weekdays, full board on weekends
Sara
"Single room, half board.
Ulrica
"This review is about my second stay. The first one was not good at all. Outright uncomfortable, but I was given the opportunity to change after a week through the school and living with a new host family which made a big difference.
Megan
"I had a bit of a unique situation with another student on arrival. There weren't any families available for the full 12 weeks we signed up for, so we were placed together with one family for the first two weeks, and then moved to others (separated) for the rest of the time. The first family was perfect, always there for us if we needed them; they showed us areas of the city and region, explaining French culture and exposing us to lots of different foods. Very much like a family. The second family was more hands-off, giving me a room on arrival, and then I only saw them at dinner every day. Breakfast was self-serve. I ended up changing families as I needed more contact that I had become used to with the first one. The school was very understanding and worked hard to quickly find me another family - one that had consistently high ratings from students - and the one they found was perfect. I already had a high level of French (B2/C1 level), so we chatted a lot at dinners and throughout the day if I was home in the afternoon. It was a very positive experience with them. Bit of a journey with the host families, but the school always worked very quickly to remedy any issue I had.

"Everything perfect, just insufficient lighting in the student's room, so studying during the night hours to prepare for DELF difficult.

Questions and answers about Tours Langues
As for host families, do they live in a reasonably central location in Tours? I am hesitant about the commitment that living with a family might entail, but realise that it is good for language learning. The alternative would be to stay in a hotel.
“As for the host families, they live on average about 20 minutes walk from the school (which is in the centre of Tours), but it varies from family to family and we can never guarantee that they live in the city centre. If location is very important, it is best to book a hotel so you can decide the area yourself. However, if you want to practice as much French as possible, host families are definitely option.

What is the Erasmus number?
“E10187712. After registration, your Erasmus documents can also be signed if you need them before you arrive.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 13, 2023
I am looking for an Erasmus language course at level B1. What activities are planned for May?
“We do not plan activities/excursions a month in advance. It's still too early to know exactly what we'll be visiting this week. We accept students every week and we talk to them to find out what they would like to do or see. Therefore, our planning is always short-term. But for sure we will visit a château (probably Chenonceau or Villandry château, because the gardens are beautiful in May) or Leonardo Da Vinci's house. The activities always take place on Friday afternoons.”
