I did the program Study & Live at your teacher's home. So, many of the questions are obsolete. The concept with private tuition is very intense and effective, especially if the teacher is so dedicated and involved. You have the chance to get to know the everyday life of the city and to discuss current events. I think you profit more from this if you have some previous knowledge of the language. Then you have the chance to improve especially the passive vocabulary and the comprehension.

Other comments I can thouroughly recommend this kind of language training. It was very efficient because we were speaking French all day long without falling back into your native language. You also get a better impression of the culture since you spend the whole day within the familiy of your teacher. Nevertheless there was enough time for repeating grammar lessons on my own.
