“Bella had a really lovely week in Paris. She especially enjoyed spending time with the other students, made some new friends and even managed to improve her French along the way, which was wonderful.
I was also really pleased with the supervision and with how little time the students were allowed to spend on their phones. Bella spoke very positively about the staff and came home with some lovely memories.
All in all, she looks back on the week very fondly. She had a great experience, made new friends and really enjoyed her time in Paris.”

"Sophie got home safely and extremely happy about the camp. It was a very well organized camp with thought-through training program and also the activities after the training. She met many international people with interesting reference / background to France, also built personal connect with them while practicing her French skills.
It was such an event that she will remember for a long time and clearly beyond any expectation. We as parents participated the camp also through the photos Sophie shared with us, so glad to see Sophie’s smile all the time during the camp."

"He really enjoyed his time at the camp and had a great experience overall. He came back very happy and had a lot of positive things to say about the camp, the basketball activities, and the people he met there.
We were also very pleased to hear the feedback from your team about how well he integrated and how much he was using his French. That was one of the main reasons we chose the camp, so it was great to hear that.
Thank you again to you and the entire team for taking such good care of him and making his stay such a great experience. We truly appreciate it."

"I hope this finds you well. Chloe had an incredible week in your camp. It went beyond expectations. The counsellors were incredibly friendly and helpful. When I met Remi Saturday morning I really felt he knew and cared about my child. The French classes were will structured and organised and Chloe felt they were hugely beneficial, Chloe really liked her teachers. The food was more than acceptable and as she said herself, she didn't starve. Trips were well organised and supervised while also giving them some free time. Overall we were extremely impressed and would highly recommend this Nacel camp. On a personal note, thank you Ana for all of your help and support. " - Jen, Chloe's mother.

"Very well organized and responsive organization. I spent 2 weeks of August in the Antibes
Camp and it was the perfect way to properly immerse myself into the French language and
culture as a New York High School student visiting Europe for the first time. The camp had taken us as a group to Nice, Cannes and Monaco as well as showed us around Antibes the first
Monday there - I was also able to take the train to Nice and Cannes on my own time! The rooms were very spacious for 2 people and had air conditioning. I had also left on Sunday at 6 A.M. - the typical day to leave is Saturday - and was driven there by a camp counselor on the camp's car and got there perfectly on time! The food was alright but you are able to order for delivery to the camp, buy some food from a market and go out to get food! In terms of the classes, I had originally been placed in A2 level, which did not feel challenging enough, so I had moved up to B1+ and taken "cours intensif" (intensive class) - an additional 45 minutes where the teacher is better able to target your personal learning. Celine and Alexa were very quick and helpful to any questions my parents or I had throughout the entire process! I recommend this camp to everyone who is starting to learn a foreign language or who already has experience with it!"

"We had a great experience of being immersed in the French culture. The host family we were paired with was great. Although she lived outside of Paris, it made visiting the city very time- consuming, as we had to travel by bus and train daily. Claire is an excellent teacher and a lovely person. Lively adored Claire. Learning French from Claire was enjoyable."
Teri and Lively, mum and daughter, did the program together.

“The camp was a wonderful experience for Ruth. She made great friends, enjoyed the freedom to spend quality, phone-free time with the other students, and felt well looked after throughout her stay, even during the very hot weather.
The sports programme was excellent, with the right level of challenge and a great variety of activities, including tennis and swimming. The international environment also gave her the opportunity to use French while communicating with students from different countries. It was the perfect first experience of French for her.
We would happily recommend the programme, and the support provided by Nacel from beginning to end was excellent.”
— Jane, Ruth’s mother

"Everything went smoothly with Mieliek's trip back home, and she came back very happy. She has only positive impressions of the camp and speaks very warmly about the experience. She really enjoyed the activities, spending time with the other children, and the overall atmosphere.
It was a very special experience for her, and I'm really happy that she had the opportunity to be part of it. We're also very grateful for all the care, attention, and support she received from you and the whole camp team during her stay.
Thank you again for everything you did to make her experience such a positive one."
Meryem, Mieliek's mother.

"Emma hatte eine wunderschöne Zeit in Paris bei Amélie und ihrer Familie. Sie hat sich dort sehr wohlgefühlt, viel mit Amélie unternommen und unvergessliche Eindrücke gesammelt. Gemeinsam haben sie viele Ausflüge nach Paris gemacht, den Eiffelturm besucht, an den Feierlichkeiten zum Nationalfeiertag auf den Champs-Élysées teilgenommen und Emma durfte außerdem weitere Familienmitglieder kennenlernen.
Besonders schön war für Emma die Zeit mit Amélie, den Mädchen und natürlich auch mit dem Hund. Sie hatte unglaublich viel Spaß und wird diese Wochen sicher noch lange in Erinnerung behalten.
Ganz herzlichen Dank für deine Unterstützung und dafür, dass du diesen Austausch ermöglicht hast. Wir wissen das sehr zu schätzen." - Britta, Emmas Mutter.

    Wishing to learn how to speak French?

    We'll explain the French language to you, as well as the tests and exams.

    Learning French will offer you the opportunity to discover a Latin language. French is indeed a Romance language. Although there are many French regional accents, only one version of the language is normally chosen as a model for foreign students: the Français neutre. 

    French grammar shares several rules with most other Romance languages. The majority of French vocabulary derives from Vulgar Latin or was constructed from Latin or Greek roots. There are often pairs of words, one form being popular (noun) and the other one savant (adjective), both originating from Latin. French uses the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet.

    Are you a beginner in French? Then have a look at our programs designed to help you to learn French in France! We offer classes from Basic French to Advanced. Our teachers will help you to improve the four language skills: reading, speaking, writing, and listening!

    If you already have an Intermediate level of French, don’t hesitate to prepare for French Language Exams in one of our Language Schools to let your skills and level be recognized officially.

    • DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official diplomas awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify the ability of applicants with the French language.
    • DELF and DALF are made of 6 independent diplomas that correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The examinations can be taken in 900 examination centres around the world, including in France.
    • At each level, 4 skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
