Student Reviews

I felt the standard of teaching was very high and the general vibe of the campus was excellent. The lessons were a good mix of grammar and practice. The teachers encouraged speaking and discussion as much as possible. The only problem I found was that the difference between the best and worst students in the […]

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 and pleasant. My experience surpassed my linguistic and general […]

I expected to consolidate my knowledge of Italian and to improve it, especially the spoken language. I also wanted to integrate myself into the Italian culture and to have many opportunities to use my newly learnt language skills. All of my expectations were met! I thought the Italian lessons were brilliant, I really liked that […]

I expected to have general conversations with others, be able to understand and converse about ordinary, everyday situations. I also expected to meet new people from different places, make some new friends and see some of the area. My vocabulary improved dramatically, and I met lots of brilliant people and generally had a fabulous time. […]

Can I just say that I would absolutely recommend others to take a CESA language course and I would love to go back to Munich again, sometime. I was lucky enough to be out there for 12 weeks, and the course certainly helped me build my German skills, helped my self-confidence and inspired me to […]

I can’t believe how motivating learning French in Paris on this course was! Right from the start I felt I learnt so much from the classes. I really liked the emphasis on communication skill and found the lessons were very interactive. The teachers at the French language school in Paris, had to help me with […]

It was a sink or swim situation, as I leapt into the unknown! My expectations changed almost on a daily basis. I was expecting an intensive time in class and was a little apprehensive for the one-on-one sessions with a French private tutor. I chose a host family and was also apprehensive about that, but […]

I expected a high standard of teaching, friendly people and sunshine. I feel my expectations were met. My teacher was fantastic and I learnt a lot during my two week course. The lessons were great, my teacher insisted that we only spoke Spanish and encouraged us to speak it outside of lessons for example ordering […]

I didn’t know what to expect as I had never been on a language course before and had never been to that part of France. I didn’t think my French language would improve much in 1 week and I thought the course would be mainly revision. My expectations were more than met – they were […]

The college definitely met and in fact in so many ways exceeded my expectations and I would have stayed all summer if I could. I think the French language classes were really well done. Everyone in the class was at the same level and the teacher was very kind and understanding with any questions asked. […]
