Going to Montpellier to study French was easily one of the best experiences of my life.

In just six weeks I went from very basic conversational skills to being able to converse freely, express my opinion, Read More »

French Gap Year Course

After volunteering and trekking in Nepal for the first part of my gap year, I studied French in Montpellier for 26 weeks.  I would highly recommend this as a way of keeping your brain alive for university studies whilst gaining a valuable life skill and having great fun at the same time.

I took Maths and Science at A level with the aim to study Physics at university, so I had not thought about languages for 2 years.  Read More »

It was a sink or swim situation, as I leapt into the unknown!

My expectations changed almost on a daily basis. I was expecting an intensive time in class and was a little apprehensive for the one-on-one sessions with a French private tutor.  Read More »

Montpellier beaches

Montpellier beaches 200We get asked about Montpellier in the summer -  how easy is it to get to the beach, and which are the best beaches near the city?

So to make it easy for you all, we’ve put together a short Blog to give you a feel for the coastal options in the area:

Firstly, there are loads of beaches on offer within easy reach of the city.  The closest (not necessarily the best) are Carnon and Palavas both about 60 mins by bike along the cycle route from the city centre. Read More »

Elena Lynch: 2 week Intensive Course

Intensive French course

I expected to improve my grammar considerably, to meet some very nice people, to have a lot of fun, to enjoy the course. I expected to be speaking French the whole time. My expectations were definitely met. I enjoyed the lessons a lot. I especially like the lessons with Christine. She corrected us the minute we made a mistake which was good.

The French language school in Montpellier was in a great location. The staff and teachers were very friendly and helpful. The best part of the course was the discussions, debates and when we made up stories in French and could be creative, playing games. Listening to French music was also good. Read More »

French in Montpellier

Two weeks French course in Montpellier

My expectations changed almost on a daily basis. I was expecting an intensive time in class and was a little apprehensive for the one on one sessions. I chose a host family and was also apprehensive about about that but chose this option so I would be immersed both in the language and culture. It was a sink or swim situation as I dived into the unknown!

I was pleasantly surprised because it was not nearly as daunting as I thought it would be. Read More »

 Standard Course
“I expected a pleasant atmosphere with friendly and motivated staff and students. I had never done anything like this before, so didn’t know what to expect in the lessons. I wasn’t sure if there would be homework or how much written work there would be. I knew there would be 3 hours of lessons a day and I expected to learn lots of vocabulary, improve conversation skills and do some grammar. Read More »
