I loved the course with my French teacher, Renee! She was very personable, so I really enjoyed everyday learning from her. She pointed out my weak points ( articles and pronouns ) which I have been already aware of. I learned SOOO much about those points that I really needed to refresh on. I would love to go back to Tahiti again to learn from her!

Turns out I was the only beginner so my lessons were all private though I did get to meet other students at social events arranged by our teacher.
The Tahitian people are truly lovely and the ability to easily visit Moorea was great. At the end of s hook I also visited Bora Bira so there was plenty of opportunity to try out my new language skills. Plus Bora Bora is beautiful.
School is fine, the director, Renée is very kind.
