The classes I took (morning classes from 09:00 to 13:00) consisted mostly of oral and written activities, with occasional outings and other types of classes. The course was not academic (i.e. not formal, requiring textbooks etc.) but practical, with the required language (French) being the only one spoken in class. The level of my class (A2) would be most appropriate for people who have studied some French already (even if never practiced). The teachers were very patient and helpful when a student expressed difficulty. The school is very conveniently located in the center of Paris. There were a few computers, wireless internet and vending machines available to students. It should be noted though, that there was no air-conditioning and opening windows usually brought a lot of noise from traffic. This was often problematic having taken the course in the summer.

I am Daniel's father and he is too busy to reply. He enjoyed his experience at the school.

Location: the school is very comfortably located next to a metro stop, in the center of Paris, which is indispensable because otherwise I wouldn't have chosen it. I appreciated in particular the rule that you can't attend with students from your own country, because I found it extremely interesting meeting so many different people. I also appreciated the massive use of oral lessons: you can always study grammar by yourself, but speaking and listening to a foreign language are more important and often underrated. The activities were quite varied and all the teachers were friendly and helpful. The classes and the building in general were tidy and clean.

Lot's of talk, nearly no writing. If you're wishing to improve you're oral French, don't look any further, if you wish to improve you're written French, look further...

The location was pretty good, very close to 2 metro stops and in an area with a lot of activity. The facilities were perfectly adequate for teaching. Nearly all teachers were great - I only had one (Vincent) that I did not enjoy. He was not good at seeking input from all students and at times lost a bit of control of the class. Also his teaching style was not easy to understand difficult topics. I found there to be a great lack of social activities sponsored by the school but in the end that was okay because I met up with other students. And lastly, I felt the flexibility during the week to move among levels was not good. I tried both the first and second week to express my discontent but no one seemed to listen. The first week I was not happy, the second week I just ended up switching on my own because it was easy for me to find the right level.

The school is nice, the classes too, but I thinke at school are a lot of teachers they can't imagen how difficult lerning french is. The school location is great. My housing too, but I think is't better to ask the people whether they agree with a smoking budget.
