DALF C1 exam preparation (online)

I think this has been a great experience and opportunity to visit a new amazing city and review the french basics.

Great teachers, nice facility, loved Toulouse. The week flew by!

The level of teaching was really good. I think it would have been better to have a break half way through the class (1.5 hours in) rather than over 2 hours into the class as I found it a long time to concentrate.
I was disappointed by the offering of school activities - most were in the afternoon when I had class and there was nothing in the evenings. It wasn’t a very sociable school compared to other language schools I’ve studied in.
My requirements for the housing weren’t really met - I asked not to be with a host but I still had to cook and eat all my meals in the house of a woman which was quite an uncomfortable set up. I didn’t feel like I had independence and it felt awkward. The shared toilet didn’t shut properly.

I was an amazing experience; I found a place friendly and homely.
They gave me a good support to learn french.
I just say thank you:

The teaching was great, location was awesome right in the centre. I didn't attend the activities but had a great student life. One qualm was that I stayed in a host family that wasn't very welcoming. I was not allowed to cook which made eating food very expensive. The lady made breakfast but it was only two pieces of bread with some butter and marmalade and a piece of fruit which was normally well past its best. I am a 19 year old who is very hungry, and that is simply not enough. Every morning I had to buy a second breakfast. when I asked her if she could make an egg or something more filling, she simply replied "I dont make eggs"- even though I had seen her make herself an egg. Also the tv was constantly on and she was reluctant to turn it off when I wanted to work or when I had to hear activities on my phone for homework. I would have happily done the work in my bedroom but there was no wifi in the bedroom and only a tiny desk. Other than that, the experience was perfect

I was able to learn at my own pace after working since it was private lessons.

All of the teachers at Lange Onze are very effective at teaching French. I related better to the female teachers. I discussed this with my friends at the school and determined that it was just my personality because they did not share my experience.

I enjoyed socializing with the other students. My fellow students were made of up of a truly international group of adventurous and intelligent people that enjoyed learning. We supported each other in the learning process and there was a lot of camaraderie and respect for each other. The only thing that I would have done differently with my time at Langue Onze would have been to schedule a week or two off in the middle of the program. I look forward to returning next year to complete my studies.

Toulouse is a handsome historic town, very walk able, good restaurants. I found a pleasant apartment 10 minutes walking from school.

Langue Onze is very centrally located in Carmes neighborhood, handsome older building, class rooms well-equipped.

Professors engaged, welcoming and very competent.

Although I only attended 2 weeks this has given me a good encouragement to continue my effort to improve my knowledge of the French language. I did not experience anything that I did not like.
