Location: Newdeal is located in the elegant and bustling French city of Bordeaux, in Southwestern France. The school is situated just a few blocks from the Garonne River and the Pont de Pierre, with attractions such as the Botanic Gardens, Place de la Bourse and the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, all within walking distance. Surrounding the school there are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés, as well as the Hanger Darwin Skatepark. The outstanding CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art of Bordeaux, is only a 25-minute walk away, with further communications via public transport available at the Jardin Botanique bus and tram stops which are just around the corner from the school, making the exploration of the city fantastically easy to students.
Course selection: The school provides a wide variety of courses suitable for students of all levels and ages. Standard General French Language courses are taught in groups as well as privately, with more specific courses for DELF/DALF Exam preparation and a professional course for Au Pairs, also available throughout the year. The school's Summer Camp and Residence courses, suitable for younger teenage students, are also very popular and informative.
Accommodation: Accommodation with Newdeal is made easy with great options in Homestays with local families, apartments (for various numbers of occupants) or local hotels within walking distance of the school, all fairly priced and arranged through the school.

Student comments about "Standard Course " at Newdeal
Monica
"Very well liked, homework but not excessive. Attention is paid to everything. Audio, speaking, reading, grammar."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Enthusiastic and driven. Sympathetic people.
Cheers to Emmanuelle. Professional and patient. And she knows exactly where it is missing. She hears everything. I was amazed at how she could immediately understand all the accents/dialects among students etc. Great teacher. Received good advice. Fast pace. Not a moment is boring. I would do it again.”
“The crowds outside. The hustle and bustle of the city is exhausting. But that's on me.”
Insider tip: “Instead of an activity at 6:00 pm: cheese and wine with other students, I would opt for lunch together. Why? Because I was tired from the intensive classes in the afternoon and didn't feel like going back to school at 6:00 pm for a social activity. I went back to the host family every day after school and then went to sleep.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Perfect. Perfect. Great attentive team at school. Great teacher. Everything according to program. Everything ran smoothly. Questions were answered immediately, etc. Cheers!
Other comments Host family Marc and Marion are also very friendly, helpful, attentive and involved. Fun people.

“The school is very well located, I really liked the facilities and above all the friendliness of the staff and the professionalism of the teachers.”
“I didn't like that they didn't take into account the placement test I had taken a few months before. They only went by how well I spoke French. They put me in A1 and the next day I asked for a change to A2 because in A1 they put me with people who didn't know any French and that's not my case. I even took the level test of the free TV5 Monde course recommended by the French government and they gave me a B2 level.”

“Friendly, good teachers. Take their time and provide good explanations. Nice atmosphere in the lessons! Fun activities offered.”
“During the course they do not check whether you can go to a higher level. You must indicate this yourself. Then you are not guaranteed that you will receive lessons at the desired level. It was not possible to go from A1 to A2. I was placed in B1, which was a bit too difficult. Fortunately, a nice teacher who took time for questions and explanations.”

“I had several friendly, competent teachers and was able to make progress in my French. The individual lessons were excellent.”
“During a stay of 4 weeks, I only had 2 weeks of lessons that corresponded to my level of proficiency. At first I was in A1, then changed to an A2 group at my request. This group consisted of 5-8 learners. In my 4th week, more learners were assigned to this group, so that up to 15 people attended the classes and the level dropped. This affected my learning.
The newdeal premises were cramped, poorly ventilated, dark. Overall, the school made a rather unkempt impression.
Apart from the teachers, most of the staff gave an indifferent, uninterested impression.
I couldn't take part in any leisure activities because of my timetable. In any case, there was only one activity per week.”
Insider tip: “Individual courses bring a lot.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: As the afternoon courses were held in smaller groups, it was actually more intensive work and questions/suggestions for topics were dealt with more specifically.

“The teachers, the atmosphere, the wide range of students, I've made friends for life at the school.”
“Bad organisation in terms of knowing what course each is on, holidays a bit confusing because there weren't that many au pairs.”
Insider tip: “Much better to book via LanguageCourse.net instead of the actual school, saves lots of money!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Great course to fill the days inbetween AuPair working hours. Great way to improve on French in a fun way, and also meet other aupairs!
Other comments The best language school, I have learnt so many new things that I have never been able to understand before.

“Nice study group, the possibility to eat lunch at the school together with other participants.”
“Rooms, frontal teaching, I was there for 2 weeks, unfortunately I had lessons with the same teacher both weeks. I was very disappointed that there was no change.
In the mornings there was a lot of emphasis on free conversation, but there was hardly any correction, so I don't have the feeling that I have learned anything. The conversation does not have to be interrupted, which is detrimental to the flow of speech, but I would have liked corrections afterwards.”

“According to the information provided, access to IT rooms, but this was not possible when asked twice. Afternoon programme good, but only one more or less interesting activity per week. The location of the school was okay, but the host family was far away, so I either had to wait for the fast hourly bus (21 min) or take the tram for about 45 min”

Student comments about Homestay
Mireia
"Lolita has been a great hostess. The stay has been perfect, a 10."
Sarah
"Super friendly, generous and very, very committed hostess, who also took me on excursions (St Emilion, Dune de Pilar...) and integrated me into her life. I learnt French well as a result and that more than made up for everything else. "
Anderson
"They host family was good "
Eefje
"Excellent host family. Friendly host and great room. Easily accessible by public transport."
Sabine
"I stayed with a family on the outskirts of Bordeaux. It was pleasant overall, we had a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The hosts were interested in me, but also gave me space. I enjoyed being able to use their garden. The relatively long way was outweighed by the quieter rural atmosphere. The meals were okay. "

"My accommodation was quite close to the school, 15-20 mins walk at a good pace, or 5-6 mins by tram, 3 stops. The tram stop was right in front of the school! The landlady was a very nice woman who took care of me a lot when I needed help. "

Questions and answers about Newdeal
- Is it possible to organise an airport transfer after 22:00?“Yes, it is possible. However, the price for one way airport transfer between 22:00 and 8:00 is 30% higher.
”Laurine, Adminstration from Newdeal, Bordeaux - Jan 22, 2025 - Is it correct that the school will also organise my homestay?“Yes, that's right. It is the school that selects host families for its students.”Irina Zotova, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 28, 2024
- I want to work in the French part of Switzerland. The minimum level required is B1 and I need a certificate for this. Can you help me with this?“We can certainly help with that and Newdeal certainly has options for that as well.
At the end of the courses, you always get a certificate of attendance. An official certificate is a DELF or DALF certificate, but you also have to take an exam for that and we recommend exam preparation for that. Is that what you are looking for or is a certificate of attendance enough?
If you need a DELF or DALF certificate (usually employers specify this themselves), let me know and I will look for you. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 01, 2023 - I would like to stay in a host family. I am thinking of half-board, which includes breakfast and 1 meal. If I want to prepare my own meals, is that possible, e.g. at the host family's place or at the school? Can you indicate a preference for a host family?“A host family is a very good idea, then you can also practise French in an informal atmosphere. Usually, you cannot use the kitchen in a host family and it is all taken care of by the family. Half board is the most preferred option for this (breakfast and dinner). If you do want to use the kitchen for one evening, indicate this in the comments of your booking, along with your other preferences, and the school will look for the best match. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 01, 2023
- What should I bring to classes in terms of course materials? Is a computer necessary?“The school provides everything, so you don't need to bring anything (just yourself and an appetite for learning). Wishing you a great course! ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 31, 2023
- How much are the activities?“At the time of writing, the price of the activities may vary from EUR 3 - EUR 15. The schedule is updated every month and the activities can be arranged on the spot.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 16, 2023
- What is the maximum duration of the Long Term course?“This course consists of three semesters of 12 weeks each. The maximum duration of the course is 36 weeks.”Maksym Sterpul, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 13, 2022
