Two weeks. German and Hiking in Kitzbuhel. I fell for Kitzbuhel on sight, there are only two main streets but they are made up of medieval houses, lovely mountain cabins mixed in with pastel-colour burgher houses, so clean, so tidy and so neatly set in the Tyrolean landscape. The population jumps to some 20,000 during […]

Stephanie Shaw 3 weeks Standard course in Nice   The best surprise for me was that the CESA staff seemed to be so knowledgeable and asked plenty of questions to help me properly consider where I wanted to go and what course would best suit me!  A great start to what proved to be a […]

Miss Baker 3 weeks French course in Aix Linguistically I had taken other language courses abroad with CESA from beginner’s level so I had an idea of what to expect, I knew roughly the level of French I could expect to reach after 3 weeks which was simple conversational French. For me all my expectations […]

 Mary 2 weeks in Montpellier Standard Course “I expected a pleasant atmosphere with friendly and motivated staff and students. I had never done anything like this before, so didn’t know what to expect in the lessons. I wasn’t sure if there would be homework or how much written work there would be. I knew there […]

I was pretty unsure it wouldn’t make a huge amount of difference to my French. Actually, […]

Mr Sampson French A level Revision Easter Course in Nice  I wanted to speak tons of French and really get to grips with colloquialisms and idiosyncrasies etc. The French A level course in Nice worked well in fact it was better than my French tuition in the UK as it was conducted 100% in French – […]

I expected that I would be thrown in at the deep end as it was a Spanish immersion course and I know no Spanish at all. I thought that the other people on the course were likely to be young people travelling in South America. The Spanish language course in Santiago was brilliant and met […]

Judith 2 weeks: Over 50 Course Nice, France “In a nutshell the Over 50 French course in Nice was fantastic.  Expectations were met in every way.  The lessons were excellent.  I was placed in a lower level as I was having problems the first day, but it was also recognized right away and the class […]

Basically I wanted a break.  January was getting me down and I felt I needed a week in the snow AND I’d promised myself all the previous year that I’d brush up my German language skills – so I decided to call CESA.  After that it’s was just a question of packing. There are no bad weather […]

“I didn’t really have many preconceived ideas about the course. I thought we’d be in small groups, taught by native speakers and be staying with a typical French family. Did the French A level Revision course meet my expectations? Definitely: especially the high standard of teaching, college facilities and accommodation.
