Positive aspects of school
"Great curriculum, with paper handouts, links to online materials- well sequenced lessons, and top notch instructors!"
Negative aspects
"Last minute calendar of 50+ activities. No group reception for socializing or meeting. No second Monday activity — only once a week travel out of Rouen. Only 1-2 hour activities to get into museum, etc. — I am comparing to Biarritz and Montpelier 50+ programs where we did a wine tasting, cheese tasting, went to cultural dances and had a lesson and took tours to two nearby villages. Also, in the Ritz, we had farewell dinners for the 50+ group that was paid for by the school, including all the transportation, getting to and from the restaurants. I would never do the 50+ at Rouen again!"

"2/3 of the teachers were really good.
1/3 were average."
Negative aspects
"I was in the B1 course and in the afternoon there was a mixed B1 and B2 class, which was too difficult for me and others, but there was only one other class left, and that was A1+2. Because of this, I didn't attend the afternoon classes for the last two weeks.
In addition, the class size was 14 people for two weeks. That was simply too many for the classrooms and tables. On top of that, new students joined every Monday, and there were constant changes in our B1 class, and only our class was always so big!"

"Everything mentioned with 4 or 5 ☆.
All the staff always very attentive and predisposed to provide the best attention.
The best teacher, in every way, was Alex."
Negative aspects
"My first week was practically lost in terms of my learning, since the course was aimed at young university students with a higher language level than mine and with activities accordingly. I think they should have put me in a lower level. The teacher spoke very fast and I could not understand anything. Her response to my comment was “I speak like this”.
The +50 course was very good, especially the second week, since the group went from 13 to 6 students. A pleasant atmosphere of camaraderie was generated. Due to the hyper-communicative system of the school, grammar is only done in the form of an explanation, an exercise and ...make do with the online practices.
As a negative note I noticed a certain anti-German spirit (partly understandable, but they should hide it), in the case of comments out of place of a teacher addressed to a German student directly and I did not find the movie “THE NAME”, very funny for me, but if I had been German it was to get up and leave."

You also get an insight into the regional studies and culture of France if you want."
Negative aspects
"There were a lot of guests in the homestay. Six guests in total! And of very different ages. I needed some time to get used to that. It was a challenge, at least for me, and it bothered me that the two young people didn't get enough attention, and they were resented for not liking the foreign food that much. I think that sometimes the guests and hosts were careless and a bit rude towards me, but that's just a small point. It was not that bad."

"Rouen is interesting. It offers good shopping opportunities for almost every budget, but I can't really say for sure. In any case, the gastronomic options are very diverse. As someone interested in history, it was a pity that the Office de Tourisme didn't have a single guidebook or guide in German, English or French about the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Rouen. There was only a cathedral guide in Dutch and in Italian. I was there several times at the Office de Tourisme. The cleanliness on the trains and in Rouen has improved. It was very clean in the station, unlike in 2014."

Personally, I do not think a group should be more than 2-3 people. Some students are not very motivated or just afflicted with ADHD or really introverted and it is difficult to work with them. But it's not the school's fault"

"This course is not set up for intensive week learning. It is for people wanting to do 3-4 months and the people doing less just sit in on their lessons which was a little disappointing given the cost and that I was only there for a week."

School's reply
"Thank you Cornelia, but you have not seen all the work we did in the school putting in big skylights in the classrooms…. Come back and see. Also we have 4/14 rooms that accommodate 12 students, one small room for one to one and the other 9 can all take 20/25 students which as our maximum is 12 that leaves lots of space"
