studied French Summer CoursesUne école remarquable!
Mes séjours linguistiques se sont passés en 2009 (1 mois) et en 2011 (15 jours). En 2009 c'était mon premier séjour à l’étranger. J'ai eu plusieurs questions stupides et beaucoup de craintes, néanmoins je voudrais souligner le travail de Stéphanie Chéca. Elle est très professionnelle et compétente en répondant en plusieurs mes questions bêtes et tout ça. Je suis vraiment très reconnaissant à elle pour son soutien. Je voudrais encore attirer l'attention à l'approche individuelle par rapport à chaque étudiant/étudiante. L'équipe de l'école Accent Français veut faire tout pour que le séjour chez eux sois très pratique et positif à l'école durant les cours et aussi en dehors de l'école. Il y a beaucoup d'activités et tout simplement c'est la ville de Montpellier! Elle est l'activité principale de tout séjour. C'est chouette! Profitant de cette occasion, je tiens à remercier le Directeur de cette école Virginie Courau et les profs Amelie Fremond, Virginie Pierre et bien-sûr Jean-Paul! Ce sont les personnes qui sont toujours donner le mieux pour que les étudiantes peuvent être à l'école comme chez eux!
Gros bisouxxx de Russie!

studied General FrenchGreat School! Great experience!
I LOVED my time at Accent Francais! I was so fortunate to have found it after initially attending another school in Montpellier. I found the teachers at Accent Francais to be so talented, CARING and fun! A very important combination of skill sets when you’re being thrown into an immersion language course! There were many differences between AF school and the other I attended. One of the big differences was how much better set up they were to encourage social interaction between students after classes. They have an entire area (indoor & outdoor) where students can “hang out” to eat lunch, get free tutoring to answer any additional questions they have and strike up friendships to practice what you’ve learned in class. Another difference was the fact they used technology to enhance the materials and the interaction between teachers and students. They had a program that we could access through apps on our phones to download materials from the class that day (including French audio), get access to homework assignments, etc. The other school didn’t have this either—limited to only paper. They also had great after school activities, a super fun goodbye party at the end of my 4 week stay and really engaged, lovely staff—starting with the school’s Director--to make things happen for us! Would highly recommend them! I’ve learned SO much. I’m back the US now, but planning my next opportunity to go back!

Claire Nielsen United States
studied Professional FrenchGreat experience
My experience at Accent Français was excellent! The courses were very well organized and included an appropriate amount of work. I learned a lot from my Oral and Written Expression and Methodology courses, and I felt prepared for the DFP exam from my Professional French course. The professors were really engaged and effective. The excursions and tour guides were also wonderful--I went to Arles, Les Baux-de-Provence, and Sommières.
Above all, I improved my French a lot. I would highly recommend coming here to study!

Excellent all round!
I fully recommend this school. From beginning to end it was well organised. All staff were positive and helpful. Each week had specific objectives and I enjoyed seeing my progression throughout the time I was there. Two teachers daily, teaching different topics, helped keep the class fresh and motivated. Thanks Accent Français!

Accent Francais review
I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality and content of the courses and how conducive the atmosphere was to making friends. The teachers were incredibly friendly and made you feel comfortable to speak straight away, you could ask them anything and they would have class discussions about anything that interested you. I also appreciated how well your progression was recorded, there was a chart showing what lessons were coming up and the feedback was comprehensive and helpful. I could not recommend this school more, and this comes from someone who has done innumerable language classes in the past!

studied French Exam PreparationForeign students beware!
I'm a concerned French citizen and I'm writing this review to make other people aware of this institution. They are very bad people and they treat foreign students very very badly. They take huge amounts of money from foreign students and does not rembourse them for any reason, whether personal or financial. Please do not fall for these nice and lovely reviews, most of these are done by social media manipulation. I know real students that have been mentally and emotionally harassed by this school. There are nicer schools in France to learn the culture and language, please do not spend your hard earned money in this school. You will not leave satisfied.

studied General FrenchPlease do not go to this school.
One of the main reasons you see this school having great reviews is because of their social media team doing a good job. In reality, this is an extremely poor and badly run institution that takes huge amounts of money from foreign students and after offering them substandard courses from teachers who just don't care, they don't even give you any of your money back. One of my friends here got horribly treated by this school and lost a massive amount of money. When they asked to claim that money back, the school did not showed any empathy whatsoever and took all of the money. They even took the money that they paid for the examination fees that was not even supposed to be from them. I hope that Google publishes this review because somehow this school is aptly deleting all the negative reviews but I can assure you that this is a very very bad institution and while you may be attracted by the nice reviews, please know that almost all of them are written by the people who work here or the host families that work with them. The management of this school are rude, unsympathetic and downright abusive to foreign students, on top of that if you complain, they will not fix anything. The accommodation they provide is substandard and overly priced and the place where they provide studios, the French residents pay almost half of what you will pay. I hope that the French government takes some sort of action against these institutions whose primary activities rely on exploiting foreign students. Please do not fall for the trap! Don't go to this school!
