A small group ensures individual attention and gives the opportunity to adapt to each student's specific needs.
The course allows you to be in French speaking surroundings throughout the day, 35 hours a week.

- The course puts emphasis on oral communication (speaking and listening, pronunciation). However, it also gives you a chance to learn or review specific grammar points and vocabulary. It allows each student to improve his/her weak points and to speak with more confidence.
- Lunches : informal conversation practice takes place at lunchtime with your tutor, in nearby restaurants.
- Outings allow you to practise French with locals whilst discovering the area, rich in natural and cultural treasures: medieval towns and castles, wonderful landscapes of the Pyrenees, prehistoric caves, traditional crafts…

The instructor
Corine ROULEAU, a teacher of "French as a foreign language": highly qualified with extensive experience in teaching French to foreigners.

 

After studies of Chinese language at universities in France and Taiwan, I took a course at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University (Paris) to obtain a Masters degree and a DESS "French as a foreign language" diploma in 1988.From that date, I have organised courses and taught French to foreigners in several schools in France and through the network of "Alliances Françaises" abroad (Taiwan, Portugal, Japan). I then decided to come back to France and set up my own residential course, first in the Lot-et-Garonne department and now in Foix.
