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 […]

Amy Kuan 12 weeks (May – July) in Madrid on a Spanish Gap Year programme: Before I arrived I generally expected the course to be both challenging and fun at the same time, especially considering there was going to be students from all over the world studying at the language school in Madrid. Linguistically I really […]

Gemma Talbot Two weeks learning French in Tours I’ve just finished a short French course in Tours at a terrific language school. It was a great experience, better than I have had in the past at other schools. The teaching methods, the school and the French teachers were great, but for me the best part […]

Mark Thomas 1 week French course in Antibes Standard Teenager course Last Easter in a weak moment I agreed to go on a French summer course to work on my language skills – my parents thought that immersion in the language would help me.  I knew it was a weak subject for me, so agreed to […]
