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.

Talitha Kumi Germany
studied Tailor made French coursesMy experience as an intern
If you are looking for an internship in pedagogic or translating and if you have chosen to go to a language school in France, then I can only recommend you Accent Francais.
The school offers various classes for every age and a huge activity programme as well (city tours, food tasting, aperitifs and others).
I had many varied tasks: as a multilingual, I had to translate different advertising texts, price lists, descriptions.
I was also asked to help students and potential clients from my home country in case of language barrier.
For every mission I was allowed to take as many time as I needed which was amazing, I had never been in rush and could do my work properly.

studied French Academic preparationMon stage à Accent Français
J'ai pu effectuer mon stage de fin d'année d'études à Accent Français en été 2019 et je peux dire que j'ai vécu une très belle expérience ! Un peu stressé au départ en ne connaissant personne, j'ai très vite pu faire la connaissance de tout le monde durant mes deux mois passés à Accent Français. En tant que stagiaire j'ai pu rencontrer beaucoup d'étudiants étrangers me permettant d'enrichir mon anglais à l'oral et de découvrir différentes langues. J'ai également pu rencontrer des professeurs très sympathiques qui enseignent parfaitement la langue française aux étudiants. Cette expérience m'a permis également d'enrichir mes connaissances en événementiel, marketing et communication. Je suis très content d'avoir pu faire mon stage de deux mois à Accent Français et je recommande vivement cette école aux étrangers voulant apprendre le français!

studied Junior French ProgramsMy stay at Accent Frannçais
It was great! In the beginning you still feel very strange but the school takes you up like a family member and shows everything. After a few days I noticed how my French level has risen.
