Ma prof était très sympa, le cours était très intensif avec trois ou quatre élèves. Malheureusement il faisait totalement froid dans la salle de classe.

Show details » Read more...I still have the felling that I didn't learn enough in the 10 hours time that I was at school.
We were with two students. A Brasil girl and myself.
The Brasil girl spoke very soft, most of the time with her hand before her mouth.
I've asked several times to her to speak loudly, but she didn't.
There was no conversation between her and me.
The lecturer Niguina didn't ask her to speak clear too.
Niguina spoke clear with a lot of expressions, that was good, but it went too fast for me to understand the most of the conversation.
Niguina had organised a conversation lesson were I went to.
the other girls at the conversation lesson were more of my level.
I would rather have had lessons with them.
At the certificate, I read I was classified in A2.
I rather would have been in A1
After all I have payed a lot for less result.
This feeling stays with me about my time at Lil'Langues.
The contact with the school, Cecile and Juliet were good and very friendly.
The only activity out of school didn't go on because of to less participation, but I went on my own to Villa Cavrois and that was very good.
Also the conversation lesson of Niguina was good. She is a nice person.
The location of the school was easily accessible.
There is a lot of reverberation in the acoustics of the classrooms.
I liked the atmosphere of the building
Only a few days before the lessons started I got the news that the lessons were changed from the morning to the afternoon.
That was quite late and it disturbed my own program in the afternoon
I was a beginner of French. So I couldn't understand what a teacher said and classmates said...
We are same class but we are totally different skills level.
They are Spanish, English and Italian speakers, so it's very hard for me to follow them.
but a teacher and a director were so nice. They help me very much.
And they gave me some advices and solutions.
They are very caring people.
And classes are very good. I improved French little by little.
The school is very beautiful and clean. Location is not center of Lille but near there.
It's calm and good place. We don't have any activity because of Covid maybe.
The professors and colleagues were very nice and helpful. Unfortunately there is no C1 level but next time I go I hope they creat one. The facilities were very proper. I loved all the activities in and out class.
Show details » Read more...It was really fun and we can understand easily! The teacher and how they teach were really effective. Everyday we learn different things with different ways of learning.
Show details » Read more...The school is very close to the city center so it was easy to reach. It has clean and bright rooms.
The teachers were all very nice and able to engage the class with fun activities. As far as I'm concerned, I think that some of the activities were a little bit childish. Also I don't think that it was as intensive as I thought It would be, as a matter of fact we spent one entire week on just one tense (but I think that's because the class was a mix of levels and the school has long programs). I wished It could give me more advance grammar. By the way, I would not recommend pairing inexperienced French students together for more than 5 minutes, because they would not spot mistakes in each other's speaking and it's a wast of time. I prefer speaking with and to native speakers (such as the French teacher) or giving oral presentations.
Also, I would have loved more homework because I think it can boost grammar and reading. When I asked for more homework, the teacher was ok with that and also corrected the extra papers.
The housing was great: clean house + kind family = the best. The woman who hosted me was really nice and made the stay pleasant and relaxing.
I spent several months studying French at Lil’Langues, starting as a complete beginner (A0/A1) and progressing to B2. Lil’Langues is an excellent language center and a great place to learn French. Courses are very well-organized and structured to provide a good understanding of the language through listening, speaking, reading, and grammar and different themes each week. As a former professor myself, I am a demanding student. All the instructors at Lil’Langues are excellent. They are all highly qualified, extremely knowledgeable about the French language, French culture, and France generally. They are approachable, cheerful, and always very helpful. They are all excellent, dedicated teachers and wonderful people. They are Lil’Langues' greatest asset; I enjoyed immensely my time studying with them all.
In addition to French classes, Lil’Langues also organizes various weekly activities for students: movie nights, international feasts, tours around Lille, etc.
Lille is a wonderful city to study, with plenty of things to do, and superb museums. It’s not too big, nor is it too small: it’s a very lively and friendly city. Lille is in a great location, about an hour by train to Paris and Brussels, and 1.5 hours to London. There are also regular, very cheap buses to various European destinations. The region around Lille is also fascinating and the nearest coast (about an hour from Lille) is beautiful with fabulous beaches.
Over all, I whole-heartedly recommend Lil’Langues and Lille.
My experience was extremely positive. An excellent place to study French, friendly and professional staff (both administrative and educational). The lessons were balanced between the grammar study and more different activities to improve the practical use of the French language in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. The teachers were prepared and willing to any doubt.
I was hosted by a nice French family who helped me to improve my ability to communicate in French.
I think, to conclude, it was an awesome experience and if i could i would do it again.
The activities were cool and the course was very good. Grammar lessons in the morning and the speaking or writing class in the afternoon. I really progressed, especially with my speaking. The teachers are very
Show details » Read more...The teachers were really pacient, nice, funny and caring. When I arrived to Lil’langues I didn’t know ANYTHING of french and I ended up being level A2 (almost B1) in only 4 months. Everyday was different than the day before, which I think is great because i never got bored. I loved the fact that we not only had grammar classes, but we had conversation and writing classes as well. Also, I think that in Lil’langues I learned everything I needed to live in France.
I met amazing human beings in the way and I’m so greatful i got to live this experience.
Lil’langues felt like home in many ways.

A dream come true 3 months in France I don't speak as well as I hoped but I can read and understand a lot more.
my thanks to everyone!
I was there between 6 to 16 June 2017. My accommodation was very satisfying in a good proximity of the school with a good transport connection. The hosts were friendly and hospitable.
The proficiency level of the teachers was very high, the lessons were conducted efficiently. I highly appreciate the involvement of my teacher. I could learn a lot and improve my French. The placement test results were properly revised and I was in a very suitable group.
The only problem I had was with a social life. Due to my age I had no connections with young people and couldn't socialize with students who were younger than my own children. But otherwise, being in your school was a very nice experience.
Friendly atmosphere, interesting topics, three hours goes by very fast, diverse material for teaching. A wonderful school and not expensive for this level! Thank you all!
