Milan for 12 weeks – amazing! I’ve always wanted to go there and my Gap Year was the perfect opportunity! It was my first trip abroad on my own and it was daunting to even think about it, just before I went. So mostly I tried not to. The Italian school in Milan was brilliant, in […]

Two weeks course.   I was a touch unsure what to expect, yet the pre-arrival information I received gave an impression of a well organised school.  Linguistically the school was excellent. The teaching was robust and the improvements I made in merely two weeks were marked. The school was very well organised. I have no […]

I loved how the lessons were all in Italian, as it really immersed us into the language.  Being a complete beginner taking a dictionary to class became a necessity. I liked how there was a mix of all ages at the college.  The teachers were very friendly and welcoming. By the end of the course […]

” I didn’t really think too much about it before I booked a two week course – I just went for the experience!! I have done something similar in France around 5 years ago, so I had some idea of what to expect.  I really hoped to be able to “chat” more spontaneously as a result of […]

I’d always wanted to go to Argentina and when I decided, having graduated that the time had come to sort out a Spanish language course, I immediately thought of studying in Buenos Aires!   The CESA Languages staff had talked me through the various course options and explained the school was home to a wide range of student nationalities […]

I expected there would be more A-level students (there were only 5 of us) on the French A level revision course. I thought my French generally, rather than just A-level topics would improve. I thought most of my time would be spent working really hard. I expected more freedom in the evenings because of the […]

Quite frankly I did not know what to expect having never participated in anything similar before: I hoped to improve my spoken French and being retired, I hoped that I would not be in a class of teenagers. My expectations were very much met. I enjoyed the whole French course experience in Antibes and much […]

Mr Wong 2 week Summer course in Tours    I expected that I would improve my French to a certain extent. I also expected to learn something new, that I hadn’t learnt at school before. I thought I would meet some new friends and experience different things in life. My expectations were definitely met. The […]
