France Langue Bordeaux - Theresa
Salut!
Bordeaux is my second language course abroad, this time to improve my French knowledge. Bordeaux is a wonderful city with lots of beautiful buildings, squares and streets. It has a lot to offer but Bordeaux is also a great point of departure to visit other cities like Toulouse, Biarritz, La Rochelle etc. The wine is really good and the food is delicious. The weather is amazing and the locals are very friendly and always there to help.
Kind regards,
Theresa

The school is professionally organized with very motivated teachers. Unfortunately, we had a substitute teacher during our first two weeks who did not meet the school's standards but our complaints were taken seriously and he got some support. The class sizes of 13-14 students (during low season) were rather on the limit for me. I was very well housed with my host mother, her friends and her dog. Getting to know the French culture and lifestyle first hand was very enriching.

France Langue Bordeaux - Florian
The language course in Bordeaux this year was just as fantastic as before, wonderful, indescribable. "My" host family welcomed me in the same warm and hospitable way.
The school was again a unique experience because I could perfect my language knowledge and again meet people from all over the world.
I will go to Bordeaux again next year, that's for sure. Everything fits perfectly, in short: my personal dream trip.
Amicalement

I can only say, keep up the good work.
Bordeaux is simply amazing. Everything was perfectly organized.
The wine week was very interesting and I learned a lot. The teacher was great and the private lessons allowed me to improve my French knowledge for my job. Two weeks are a bit too short but better than nothing.
I can recommend this school to everyone with a clear conscience.
Learning languages or deepend your language knowledge is always exciting.
Kind regards
Andrea

France Langue Bordeaux - Florian
My week in Bordeaux was sooo great, I don't even know how to explain it. I miss my host family a lot because we got along so well. The kids were little angels and I even exchanged numbers with the oldest son. I will contact you again to book my language course in France for next summer. Thank you for the good organization, everything went perfectly well. The transfer was also very reliable.
The classes were great. I was at level B2 - French is and always will be my passion. The teacher was very kind but she gave us a lot of homework. One one hand, it's good to improve but on the other hand it was quite exhausting when I came home from a trip at night and still had work to do and less time to spend with the kids or the family.
Bien cordialement,
Florian

France Langue Bordeaux - Alex
As usual there was better weather in Bordeaux than in Switzerland. I was welcomed at the airport by my host family, who I got to know during the following six months. Together with them we explored the Aquitaine region, French specialties, their life and their family history etc. I became a member of the family, a family which I am still in contact with.
The school is in the center of Bordeaux and therefore very well located. It's easy to get there by public transport and bicycle. Depending on the season, there was quite a high percentage of Swiss people. Group courses take place in the morning and are divided by language level. I also want to add that France Langue has some very competent teachers. Different modules took place in the afternoon.
Merci beaucoup to the Yalea team and especially to my contact person for organizing the language course abroad. In order to put my French knowledge into practice and not leave my diplomas to fade away into the dust in a closet, I will start my medicine studies at the University of Lausanne.
