James Fraser 4 weeks in Berlin Standard Course As I was an absolute beginner, I was looking forward to a challenging, perhaps difficult, but interesting course, to meet students from different cultures and backgrounds also to visit many areas within the locality. It was all good! The German language course was very interesting, difficult at […]

Gemma Dutton 2 weeks in Berlin Intensive Course I was very nervous about not understanding anything and daunted at spending so much time with strangers!  Linguistically I expected to struggle at first, but hoped to see some real improvement by the end.  On a totally paranoid level I just hoped that the school really existed […]

George Chapman 8 weeks in Berlin (extended to 16) Languages for Life course Having never embarked on such a course I had no real expectations other than that presented to me by CESA Languages, via the website, brochure etc.  From this I had an idea in my mind of a German language school, where we’d […]

Holly Owen One week in Berlin Standard Course I’m in my thirties and didn’t want to be in a classroom with a mass of 17 yr olds, who were more agile minded than me and would have completely different goals and motivations to me.   Actually it turned out the other students in my beginners class ranged […]

The lessons at the […]

Ralph Richards 2 weeks Portuguese Course Lisbon, Portugal My plan was to learn some Portuguese in the company of other committed students and to immerse myself in some of the Portuguese culture and enjoy the local food and weather (warmer than the UK at least)! It was 100% successful. The Portuguese school in Lisbon provided […]

John Chalmers 2 weeks Combined Course Lisbon, Portugal.   I knew I wanted a structured course which would be intensive, focused and shared with similar students to myself. I felt the course chosen certainly met my needs. I found the Portuguese Combined Course in Lisbon was professional, well structured and surprisingly good fun.  Addressing general language concepts  in the […]

1 week French language course in Paris Private Tuition – 20 lessons I needed to work on my French in the Christmas holidays and chose to go with CESA Languages as they responded quickly to my questions by email and on the phone.  I could only spare one week and wanted to concentrate purely on […]
