|
| “This
is the second time I’m taking classes here. The first
time I came for a couple of months and now I’m staying
for 2 months again. An acquaintance told me about the
school in Paris and having tried several other schools
I can say that that it is really very good. My teacher
is a genius!” |
Alexander
Russia |
|
| "It's
good to be able to speak two foreign languages. Learning
French is not only for pleasure: I might go to Canada
to get a B.A. degree later on. I have gone on school excursions
to Giverny and the Vaux le Vicomte Castle. I visited on
my own the Louvre, the Orsay Museum, Versailles and EuroDisney.” |
Wiebke
Germany |
|
| "French
is a beautiful language, and I think it will help me in
my job. I work for a French company and I might be placed
on a project in Toulouse soon. It would be useful to be
able to speak a bit of French for that! I’m planning
to stay in Paris for a week after the end of my classes,
so I can see everything I didn’t have the time for
in only two weeks." |
Mohammed

Arab Emirates |
|
| “When
I arrived in France, I could not say more than “bonjour
and “merci,” but with the classes I’ve
been taking I’ve improved a lot! I’m staying
with a host family and I’m very happy there. I’ve
toured a lot of Paris, alone and with friends. I really
like going out to cafés and clubs, and Paris is
great for that!" |
