Excellent Course

If you wish to study French, this is one of the better options. The reception area looks professional. There are magazines and books to view at your leisure. The staff was very helpful and took the time to explain the refund policy, the textbook, and courses. During my assessment, I spoke to Bruno. He was very kind and was quickly able to assess my level. The assessment takes about an hour – reading comprehension, grammar, writing, listening, and speaking.
