Blog and Student Reviews: Teenager Courses

Elsbeth Wolfe 2 weeks Leaving Certificate & Surfing Course I expected a very intensive learning environment.  I was unsure as to what our teachers would be like and whether I would be able to understand them or not.  I didn’t know the teachers at the French school in Biarritz were going to be so helpful […]

Clair O’Callaghan: 1 week Summer school I was hoping to learn some basics and make friends in the class to spend time with sightseeing and socialising when not in class. My trip FAR exceeded my expectations. The lessons were brilliant, much better than the German language lessons I remember from secondary school.

Sophie Golding : 2 weeks Summer Programme I thought that a Spanish course would be of benefit to me, in terms of language skills but I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of how the lessons were taught, what the social side would be like and what kind of people would be there. My […]

If you’re looking for a Spanish course for 14/17 yr old students, Tarifa is the perfect mix of summer sunshine, sociability and Spanish. The school only caters for 60 students max in a session – and July is already over 50% full, so a quick decision is recommended. You can view the course information on […]

Mark Thomas 1 week French course in Antibes Standard Teenager course Last Easter in a weak moment I agreed to go on a French summer course to work on my language skills – my parents thought that immersion in the language would help me.  I knew it was a weak subject for me, so agreed to […]

Joe Smith 2 weeks French language course Teenager course, Antibes, France I didn’t want to go. Was actually quite cross with my mother for booking the course as I felt I’d done enough work for the year and wanted a rest. Very suprised to discover I really liked it – straight away!  No really, I […]

Isabel Reynolds : 2 weeks Spanish Summer Programme Benalmadena, Spain I wanted to work on my Spanish post GCSE exams and to have a good time, but mostly improve my spoken Spanish before starting my AS Spanish course. My Mum found out about the teenager Spanish language courses abroad offfered by CESA and we chose […]

Sarah Osprey: 1 wk Summer Intensive Course in Nice I had been to the French school in Nice last year so I knew roughly what to expect and my expectations were met. In lessons my abilities were stretched, the teaching was of a high standard and given that we spent much of the time debating and […]

Katy Heinemann : French teenage Course : 1 wk I expected everyone at the Summer School to be fluent French speaking (don’t know why, nerves I guess), and the language students to be less international than they were. I also expected far less people at the campus.

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 […]
