Over 50 course in Nice Ms Rankin 2 weeks I wanted to pick up my somewhat rusty French.  A’level skills more years ago than I care to remember coupled with regular holidays in France didn’t quite add up to the skill level I once had.  So this year I decided to do something about it […]

Peter Thompson Two weeks Combined Course in Aix-en-Provence I’m in my 50’s and wanted a school that wouldn’t be swampled by young adults in the late Spring.  I choose Aix because I’d heard it was beautiful and CESA staff assured me that the school were very professional and would provide me with a first class […]

Ryan Murray 4 weeks in Granada Standard Course Granada is a great town, good value (despite the Euro) each beer came with free tapas – so no real need to spend money on dinner.  Lots of cultural things to see.  It was quite easy to meet Spanish people through the teachers etc but in August […]

Having been recently widowed I was looking for a new experience, and felt that a French course, a chance to explore Paris and meet new people would be good for me.  I admit to feeling very nervous before I went on the course.  I suppose as with anyone, it was that fear of the unknown. […]

Clara Fielding 4 weeks in Tours, France I spent 4 weeks in Tours improving my French, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice! The assessment test at the beginning of my stay was the ideal way to identify where I should be placed, according to my French knowledge. The classes were kept very small which […]

I found CESA through my college in Bristol and decided to […]

Brenda Evans Two weeks in Florence Italian for the Over 50s A wonderful experience.  The school was excellent, teachers and staff friendly and helpful.  Visits well organised with expert tuition. 

Carol Sargent Spanish for the Over 50s Two weeks in Nerja The Spanish language course in Nerja was excellent – lots of conversation about topics which the five of us found interesting (e.g. different customs and habits of the Swiss, Germans, Spanish with me representing the UK) and which our teacher Marion also learnt from – in […]

Rob Holland 12 weeks Japanese language course in Fukuoka      I was expecting to find it difficult linguistically!  CESA gave me lots of information about the school and the course so my expectations generally were based on that!  Honestly – yes it was hard work – but the teachers were good so they encouraged […]

Lucy Harfield One week French course in July. Rouen, France   I only had a week to refresh my French, but I’d used CESA Languages before so decided to check out their website for a short course.  I didn’t want to go south, but Paris didn’t appeal – too big, I just couldn’t face the endless commuting for […]
