studied French Summer CoursesMs
Fantastic course and a great school. My French improved vastly in a space of a week! The atmosphere is wonderful, the facilities are great and the front office staff super helpful, professional and a joy to talk to. I made loads of friends who I'm still in touch with and fell even more in love with the language, the culture and the place. The lessons were superbly structured and the teaching staff was very helpful and approachable. Highly recommended.
