Intensive

I had a good teacher who explained the problems really well to the class. She was kind, relaxed and had a good talking speed. I could follow her mostly without big problems. The locations are also really good. You could easily get there with bus or tram and walk for a few minutes to the buildings. It’s almost in the City Center of Montpellier, near the arc de Triumph et parc peyrou, not to far from the place de la comedie and also near from many restaurants, little shops and supermarkets.

We did not prepare for the language test and we were integrated in level A1+, a little too deep ... but it didn't make sense to change within a week.

We appreciated our teachers BUT they did a lot of English explanations ... we think that they should have explained in simple french or "hands and feed".

The class had a good mixture with a majority of non swiss and/or german speaking students. The teachers evaluated the students day by day and proposed/allowed a change in class if appropriate. The facilities were fine and in close walking range.

Since I did not use the activities and housing, I cannot really judge this.

I found the classes very fun, educating and interesting. I found the teachers excited and enthusiastic. The location was fairly central so it allowed us to walk around in the city. The facilities were good. The activities were interesting and fun. The housing was fun. My host family was very nice and I enjoyed my time with them.

I liked most of it. I think if there was something to change I would say the food wasn’t very good and when we went bowling it wasn’t very organised and you just had to be there waiting for hours. I liked when we got free time to walk around in Montpellier. I learned french during the free time as well since you had to talk it if you wanted to order something on a cafe for example

I really liked the friendliness of everyone within the school. Everyone was very helpful and kind to me and I generally enjoyed being in school due to that and the school being warm, cozy and it generally having a good energy. In terms of learning French, my French has gotten quite a bit better, and I’m really tempted to go to Montpellier to learn French at LSF after I’m done with school... for a longer amount of time so that I can permanently improve my French. All in all I loved all the people, the vibe in general and the whole experience of my housing and my general stay in Montpellier was fantastic and a life changing experience. Thank you so much!

I liked the atmosphere in the class, especially the friendship between the comrades and the teacher. They were very nice and energetic. The teacher has adjusted the way of teaching for students. I really learned a lot, no matter grammar or listening / speaking.

I had dedicated teachers during the two weeks I spent at LSF in Montpellier.

Classes had interesting topics and the teaching of grammar in the classes I attended were well-organised. I would have preferred more practice of grammatical constructions in the way of a pattern drill - grammar without too much explanation but repetition.

The location was close to the Arc de Triomphe, which was very good and pretty close to the historic center of town.

There should have been access to Internet in the building, but this did not work. I tried it numerous times. This made lessons less effective.

I did not attend any of the activities.

With regard to the rating below, I think there should be something in between average and very good. There seems to be a gap of sorts in between.

I thought the standard classes were very good, but sometimes the extra classes in the afternoons were not so good.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME.. WE MET REALLY NICE PEOPLE.. WE STILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THEM. TEACHERS WERE GREAT!! WE MISS THEM! PROBABLY WE WILL GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR! WE TALK FRENCH AND IT REALLY HELPED US IMPROOVE OUR SKILLS! TEACHER WERE DOING GREAT JOB!

The classes were interactive and diverse. The teachers were extremely dedicated. The location was perfect because it was right in de center of Montpellier. The housing was fine, it could have been a little bit more cozy but all the necessities were available.
