Blog and Student Reviews: French

“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.

Mrs Dawn Wise: “I booked my daughter on the CESA Languages course in Antibes having seen their ad on Schoolstrader. It was absolutely fantastic and my daughter wanted to stay longer.  The company were so efficient, kind and helpful.”   Charlotte’s view:  “I expected to improve my French especially my oral skills. I also thought I […]

“I hadn’t ever taken a course with a language school before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought perhaps it would be similar to my A level lessons, and in each lesson you would cover: listening, reading, writing and speaking. My expectations were met, most of the teachers structured their lessons using the four […]

“Greetings from Cannes! I have been living here on the sunny Cote d’Azur for just over a week now, and so far I’m having a fantastic time. There was lots to take in at first; getting acquainted with the college and where everything was, exploring the quaint, but bustling town of Cannes, and being trained […]

Well the important thing is my French.  I have every confidence it has flourished under the instruction of my prof. Katia, who was amazing and extremely patient. The teachers at the college are brilliant, and with lessons taught solely in French, it is a steep learning curve. Every lesson is structured well and it is […]

Cannes was definitely the best part of my overseas Gap Year, last year. The French college was perfect for me, and being able to see the festival was just amazing. A Norwegian friend from college and I actually walked the red carpet and saw a film due to some unbelievably good luck in being at […]

John 2 weeks in Paris (1) Mini Group Course I knew where I wanted to study French (Paris) and that I didn’t want to be with a lot of young people (it’s been years since I described myself as a  student – and really couldn’t have faced studying with lots of bright young teenage things […]

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 […]
