This exciting language course offers students the opportunity to ski or snowboard each afternoon following their morning German lessons.
Students attend 25 German lessons per week in the mornings before heading to a nearby ski slope with the school’s welfare workers for 2 to 3 hours of ski/snowboard lessons and practice.
On Saturdays, the students go on a full-day excursion to a bigger skiing resort in the Alps. Please observe that this excursion only takes place if enough students sign up for it. Otherwise, the participants will join the other students on the regular Saturday excursion.

The school does not permit friends or even students of the same nationality to share rooms.

I spent a month in La Rochelle with a wonderful host lady. La Rochelle is a fantastic location as not only is it beautiful but it is a very accessible city. It was a wonderful experience and I wish I'd been brave enough to book for longer.
I loved my experience at the school. The classes were very intensive, and the teachers were all good. My host family were amazing there food was really nice and I had such a good two weeks in their home. I enjoyed some of the activities and loved the group leaders. I appreciate the freedom at night.
My standard of French really improved during my time here especially my oral and aural. Oral work was definitely what I found most difficult prior to my time in La Rochelle however I find it so much easier now. The morning classes were really beneficial when we spoke about general topics such as the media on sport for example. It was really good to practice Leaving Cert papers too however I don’t think it was necessary to do as many as we did.
As an young adult arriving on my own, this course is ideal. The teachers were efficient and afterwards we were brought to the town for a small guided tour.
When I first arrived I had a decent understanding of French oral expression but my host family and the teachers in the school made a great effort to improve my French through various activities and different topics of conversation. We did a lot of afternoon and evening activities which always kept me occupied. At dinner in my house I was always asked about my day in French which I think was hugely effective towards improving my French.
I loved my trip because everyone was always very kind and I felt I had any problems I could have easily got help. I found the weeks I was here with more students was the better memories as it was more fun during our free time and during activities with everyone. I found the classes very helpful for both pronunciation and my grammar.
