Testimonials
I loved this experience I was able to make many friends, get to know many places and different cultures. The lady I had only spoke French that helped me to improve faster. The first week was difficult to communicate but after a week in I.L.A. I was able to talk to her better. The first month I was alone, but the second month I had a roommate with her and I was able to practice French even more. The cultural differences are that almost everyone smokes, you walk around the squares you use a lot of bicycles or trains, you hardly use cars, at night everything lights up and in the south of France you greet each other with three kisses, everyone I met was very nice. Learning French in Montpellier was very convenient because you can visit incredible cities, you can also go to Spain. I improved a lot learning the language in France and now I can speak with more confidence. I liked that my friends taught me some words in their languages. Montpellier is a city of students, that makes it easy to make friends and practice the language.
Zoe truly had a nice experience at Montpellier, her host family took good care of her. They are educated, attentive and kind. The only two things: Zoe was not able to switch to a higher level class during the first week because the higher level was full, and the host family is a little far from the school ( which we understand both). But overall, she really enjoyed the classes there and had a wonderful time at School and with the host family. Thank you very much for your effort and help to make this happen and everything runs smoothly. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and family.
