I had a Fantastic experience with Inlingua, I felt the classes were extremely beneficial and the activities we did with Yann and my host family couldn’t have been more accommodating. All the teachers in the school were extremely helpful and did everything they could to ensure I got the most I could have from this trip. If there was one small thing I would change would be maybe to have a longer morning class until maybe 1.30 then not have an afternoon class as in the sunny days, I really wanted to be outside. I really enjoyed my trip and would recommend this to a friend.
I love it! I improved my French so much!
It was a really good course for learning to use French. We were encouraged to use as much French as we could. The teachers were all very good.
Very Good, the games and activities were very good to help people get to know each other and the freedom afterwards helped this too. The host’s were very friendly and seemed happy to have us. Everyone was included. Teachers were very nice and friendly. The classes were very good.
I had a wonderful time, my host family were perfect. The college staff were very helpful and made it very easy to settle in. I enjoyed the fact that there were people from all nationalities. I would love to go again and would recommend it highly.
I thought the whole experience was first class. From the school to the activities to free time, I really enjoyed everything the school had to offer. I thought Tom was very kind and well prepared for everything. I really enjoyed it all and can’t say a bad thing about any of it. My host family also could not have been kinder and more welcoming towards me, the activities we did as well were very good. I particularly enjoyed the sailing. I would recommend this trip and will make sure my younger brother comes here.
