"A non-stop learning experience, from lessons in the morning to cultural traits in the afternoon."

Gabriele Bilotti, student from Italy

The family was just amazing, the support given was incredible, furthermore a great bond had been developed between us which made learning French grammar easier. The interesting part of this experience has been without any doubt the opportunity to practice oral language every single moment of the day, starting from breakfast in the morning, arriving to lunch and after dinner. In addition what made the experience even better has been the chance I had to merge with other cultures and understand under a 360° perspective what it really means to live and be French. Absolutely an experience that I would repeat a second time. And lastly a huge thank you to Valerie and Jean-Pierre for being a fantastic family, certainly I have wonderful memories because of them.

"Excellent intensive course"

Tom Corfield, student from UK

As an older student (in my 30s) looking to improve my French with a 1 week crash course, this was ideal. A welcoming home, intensive one one one tuition and total immersion outside lessons with excursions and meals. I didn’t speak, listen to or read English for 5 days. My French has improved a lot - Merci!

"I learned far more than I ever thought I could"

Douglas North, student from USA

I like learning in a home, being part of it. I like the individual instruction from someone who exactly what my level was and could patiently build upon it. I especially like some really long conversations that were only rarely but strategically interrupted by corrections. Homestay is a great advantage.
