Their Experience
Intensive Course in Nice - September 2007 - "I had a very enjoyable and worthwhile time learning French both at the school and also at my host family. The school was extremely welcoming and the teachers provided a very supportive environment in which to practise and extend my knowledge of the language. The best part was meeting other students from all over the world and making new friends with whom I could share my experience of learning a foreign language." Fern
French for Seniors in Montreux - September 2007 - "I approached this experience with some trepidation, unsure whether I would be out of my depth but I need not have worried. My only regret is that it was too short. The stay with the host family was most enjoyable; the approach of the school was reassuring and competent; and the excursions were informative and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the meals out with the group when we could relax and laugh together about are mistakes. I was in a group with four Swedish people, so we all had to speak in French which provided for some thought provoking discussions." Diane
Total Immersion in Moustiers - September 2007 - "Magical place, fabulous food, excellent supportive teachers, very high standard course material and loads of fun!" Pam

Business course in Bordeaux - July 2004 - "I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would have liked to have stayed one more week. I think that I made tremendous progress particularly within the private business lessons. These, initially felt a little intimidating, but once I was at ease, I think there were invaluable.

I would definitely like to return next year." Julie, 39
Standard course in Nice - October 2004 - "It was definitely one of the best travel experiences we have had. We learnt some French but best of all we experienced French life in Nice.

The highlight though was to be invited back by our homestay mother as friends." Karen and Joe, 27, 30

Katie really enjoyed the activities and excursions. Overall: a great success!" Katie, 15

School trip in La Baule - May 2002 - "We took a group of students to La Baule in 2002. In 27 years, this was one of the best-organised trips I have been on, with just the right balance of educational, cultural and leisure activities for all concerned. Everything went very smoothly - it felt more like being on holiday with friends than being in charge of a school trip!" Mike, teacher
School trip to Nice - March 2003 - "The trip I took to Nice this year was not only a lot of fun but fully worthwhile also. Staying with French families gave us the opportunity to use and improve our French language skills, it also gave us a feel to how French people live their lives. In the morning we would attend French classes which were particularly good because we were expected to talk French the whole time. In the afternoon we did various different cultural and educational trips such as visiting Monaco, the local cathedral, the old town in Nice and some art galleries. There were so many different aspects to this trip. Learning about both the day life and the night life in France was interesting and just being part of the French culture for a few days was very enjoyable." Sabina, 16
Tuition and trip - September to December 2003 - "As someone who had last learnt French over 10 years ago, I was a bit nervous about taking it up again. However, I found the teaching methods used on the beginners' course meant not only that the lessons were great fun but that I was learning a lot at the same time. The course was specifically tailored to our group's aim of being able to speak 'practical French' i.e. French that would be useful when on holiday in France. The real highlight was the trip to Nice at the end of the course. Nice is a fantastic place to visit and we were using our French as soon as we stepped off the aeroplane! The activities set out for us ensured that we practiced all we had learnt but left us plenty of free time to explore and to taste the local cuisine! I will definitely be continuing with a second course and will be looking forward to another trip to France!" Pippa, 26, Reed Online
