Clive Richards One week: French Private Tuition Nice, France I’d attended a few private classes in the UK to refresh my somewhat rusty school French and wanted to take the whole thing to a better level.  Saw an advert in The Telegraph and decided to try a course abroad – whole new concept to me, […]

Ms Lamb   Standard Course French in Nice 4 wks I wanted concentration mainly on pronunciation, grammar, refinement of the spoken language.  I’d already got a good level of French but needed some serious brushing up, to get rid of the rust.  Was told by CESA Languages to expect a professional study environment with a laid back […]

Rebecca Worth 2 weeks French course Antibes, France I was really looking forward to my stay in Antibes.  The website and preparation booklet explained the course without exaggeration or over complication.  It showed courses dedicated to the French lessons, whilst showing potential students what fun could be had.  In this way I expected a relaxed […]

Serena Grigg   3 weeks Tours    Mini Group Course After just three short weeks study in Tours, I am aware that my French has really improved, my vocab still needs a lot of work but I’m beginning to realise there will ALWAYS be more vocab!  However I was really pleased that my spoken skills and comprehension […]

I was hoping for an intensive course with a lot of practice in listening and speaking and ideally a nice friendly atmosphere and some enjoyable tours with like-minded people.  Thankfully I can say that all of these goals were realised! I was exceedingly challenged by the standard of the lessons and it took 2 to […]
