What our students think about our French summer courses?
Five in our family (one adult, four kids) have been coming to this school for the last 5 years and have really benefitted from the classes. Now our kids are teenagers, they are really feeling the benefit. This year because of Covid, two tutors came to our apartment. We already knew Sonia and Camille and found them to be excellent. We worked hard but still found the classes to be fun and chatty. The different levels were accommodated really well and everyone was really pleased with their progress. Merci beaucoup Sonia et Camille.

I was very satisfied with my experience. The teachers took into consideration what I wanted to learn and incorporated my learning needs into the class curriculum. Small class sizes provided good opportunity for discussion. The School’s Director listened to my concerns and made adjustments to accommodate my learning needs. My host family provided wonderful meals and excellent conversational opportunities. Overall, this was a great experience and I would strongly recommend the school!

French summer courses for adults and homestay program
I've searched for a French programme one year ahead of time to make the best choice. I flew from Prague to Nice in July 2019 and stayed in Cannes during 4 weeks. Perhaps someday when I have grey hair, shaky hands and live with many cats, I might forget many things, but I will never forget my time in Cannes learning French. Lessons are colourful and the teachers are wonderful. My host family was so welcoming and friendly. French summer classes programme is the perfect mix of education and fun. I went to many trips to Saint-Raphael/Frejus, went to Eze, attended potluck on the beach, travelled to Valensole lavender field and enjoyed sandy beaches a lot. To sum up, if you want to have a good time and learn new things without even noticing it, try this place.

Tout d’abord, il faut vous remercier pour tout ce que vous avec fait. Vous étiez toujours disponible pour nous aider. Depuis 10 ans, nous passons nos grandes vacances en France, toutefois, grâce à votre programme linguistique les vacances cette année étaient les meilleures. C’était une très bonne expérience, un mélange de choses – apprendre le français, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et profiter de vacances sur La Côte d’Azur. L’école a convenu à toute la famille, nous avons fait beaucoup de progrès et les leçons nous ont encouragés à continuer à apprendre le français. Nous espérons revenir l’année prochaine. Je vous souhaite une agréable année. Jusqu’à l’année prochaine. Bien cordialement.

Sophie came back yesterday and had really enjoyed the week with you - she spent several hours telling us all about it and showing us photos!
It had worked so well with Mme Corrine - they got on really well😊
She said how lovely it was to meet you and your colleagues and make new friends and improve her French at the same time ! Thank you for everything in making it such a good experience for her.

I enjoyed the 4 week intensive class in Cannes. I will do it again and have recommended it to my friends and colleagues. I learned the fact that French is a thinking language. You must apply yourself to get most of it. All the staff is prepared and willing to give you the best experience possible!

I really like my experience at French summer school in Cannes. One of the best part was that there were really nice people and everyone got along with each other very well and made new friends from different parts of the world. It was good that we did an excursions in Eze-sur-mer and picnic on the beach for the team building because probably this helped as well getting to know each other better. My teacher Manel was an extremely good teacher with all the patience and smile in the world, she really encouraged me to go on studying French.

My friends at school all said how unlucky I was to be going on the French summer school, but in the end, I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the morning French classes and fun sailing lessons in the afternoon. I met wonderful friends and can’t wait to come back next year !

French course for beginner children
I had a great time at school and certainly learnt quite within a week and best of all was perhaps the experience of living it a little more like a local rather than a tourist. I really enjoyed my homestay experience. The French host family was so kind and thoughful.

I was pleased to read your kind words and reports about my daughter Marie. I thank all of teachers at your school for being so patient and helping her to improve French! She also had so much fun learning with you. Your lessons were very insightful and interactive ! I would like to sincerely thank you for such a fantastic host family. Marie-Brigitte, Michel and their amazing girls made Marie happy to stay with them and feel like at home ! Again, please accept my sincere thanks.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, our son couldn't travel to Cannes to join the French summer classes. Instruction is done via skype (France-USA). The teacher is very flexible, funny, follows the school teacher's instructions and suggestions; there is an excellent and interesting conversation on-going about current events. Despite being the only student with the teacher, our son is enjoying the classes. I hope to send him in person next year! Thank you very much to the administration and the teacher.

I feel like I'm in my second family when I come to summer school in Cannes because teachers are caring, welcoming and help me learn a lot of French with fun activities and a friendly manner. My host family was fantastic and great friends now. My French has improved a lot and I have more confidence too.

Pour tous ceux qui souhaitent apprendre le français, j’aimerais conseiller cette école. Mon fils et moi, nous avons longtemps cherché un cours de langue française, et avons finalement décidé d'aller à Cannes. Cette expérience a surpassé toutes nos attentes. Si vous voulez commencer à apprendre une langue ou d'améliorer votre connaissance du français dans une famille d'accueil qui vous fait sentir à la maison, avec les enseignants de l'école qui deviendront vos meilleurs amis, qui non seulement vous introduiront à la grammaire française, mais aussi partageront avec vous leur vie, leur culture et les traditions du sud de la France, et où vous pourrez combiner les études avec les vacances merveilleuses, vous trouverez cet endroit à Cannes-la-Bocca. Encore un grand merci à tous mes chers amis Alima, Christine, Alicia, Francoise, Benoît, Fidel ... qui ont fait nos vacances à Cannes inoubliable!

C’était une expérience géniale, qui a dépassé toutes mes attentes. Les leçons étaient très intéressantes et structurées. J’ai beaucoup apprécié mes professeurs et la manière de nous mettre au défi pour nous faire apprendre plus et progresser. Ma famille d’accueil était formidable et amicale. Merci encore une fois d’avoir tout organisé pour moi. Amicalement.

Grace adore ses cours de français - elle préfère même étudier avec vous plutôt que d'aller à la plage ou faire de la voile. Je constate qu'elle a fait de bons progrès.

Teenager French intensive courses
I was a little sceptical before coming to French summer school but as soon as I got here I was welcomed by a lovely teachers. This year I struggled with some of my French classes at home but thanks to this language programme I was able to study and revise and get more confidence in understanding and speaking. I am extremely happy that I was able to come here and I am sure that this experience will help me through my school-leaving certificate. It is a great place to meet new people, have fun and also study and improve at school and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Arno from Belgium
French course for a 15 y.o
I want to thank you for an amazing month in Cannes, my children loved their time at the language school. Because of his bad experience with his french teacher here in Delhi Meika hated the French language and anything to do with French, he really didn’t want to attend the language school and was very nervous but it didn’t take long for your teachers to show him that learning a language can be fun. He actually said to me one day ‘Mum, I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow’ which I honestly did not expect to ever hear from him. So thank you!! Jahlan and Aji both benefited from their time at the school also and I know their experience has helped them immensely in settling back in to the French school here in Delhi. I want to thank you also for being so willing to accommodate Jahlan and his desire for more challenging work. I was very impressed with your kindness and professionalism. Not only was their time in class valuable but equally the new friends they have made, the fun they had on the beach and exploring the surrounding places also made their month in Cannes a very enjoyable memory.

Many thanks for this class – it a was very inspiring experience. I took this class as a pre-beginner, without any understanding of French – not even one phrase. I had an amazing surprise, that after one month I became able to read simple text and understand conversations. It’s great! Our teacher Madina – is fantastic! Parfait très, très bien!
