“There are two options available for this course: 20 hours per week with 5 hours of extracurricular activities, or 15 hours per week. I chose the 15-hour option due to financial reasons. The syllabus is equally covered in both options, with a clear beginning, middle, and end (as it is a summer course), and all skills are taught. This is an important point to note, as not all schools follow this structure. The teachers are excellent, and due to the small size of the school, there is a sense of closeness between the management, teachers, and students. I appreciate the diversity of nationality and age, which allows for an enriching exchange of experiences and culture. Lastly, the cost-benefit ratio of this course is unbeatable, and I doubt anyone could find a better option.”
“I cannot think of any negative aspects to mention.”

“The passion and dedication that all those who work in teaching (and not only) in a complex language such as French, and the wide openness to students and travelers from all over the world who converge in the school and make sure that learning does not remain only during lessons.”
Insider tip: “I strongly recommend the accommodation in a family, because if you want to learn a language being together with mother tongue people and that normally uses it for all things in life, this becomes an excellent continuous training.
Also I think that choosing the package with the extracurricular activities is the best choice, having fun learning is what I found in Annecy.”
Other comments: Great spaces, great meetings and excellent advice on how to pass the DELF exam.

I live not far from Annecy and would like to have one-to-one lessons for 1.5 hours twice a week. Can you provide a Russian-speaking French teacher?
“Most of our schools in Annecy don´t have French teachers who speak Russian, but in general they always manage to communicate with students, even very beginners. That's part of the job. If there are problems with communication, there may sometimes be a few Russian-speaking students at the school who can help with translation if needed!”

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
