in the beginning it was very tiring to speak and listen to other language all day... It helps to have a handy dictionary in any situation, and not ever being embarassed to ask people to correct our pronunciation... It will help both to cope better!!!

Course recommendations
Tuition is more school style, you are less encouraged to do independent reading with a very school like, spoon fed approach

Personal comments
I was extremely disappointed with the teacher's attitude which was extremely negative towards our French speaking ability. Many of us were told that our French was simply not good enough to pass the course and were therefore asked to find an alternative class. I'm not sure if it is a cultural nuance in the way that they teach but I would say be warned that if you're french is mediocre you're going to struggle.
