"I was looking for a 3-week
intensive language program where I could take a morning class and
have the afternoon free to discover Paris. I found prices to be
very attractive."
David (U.S.A.)
"…. As I just had
finished the theoretical part of my training to become a commercial
correspondent I was looking forward to participating in a practical
work program for two months in France. I already gained experiences
in working abroad in Hungary. So I was very interested in what it
was like to work in another foreign country. I worked in the head
office of the language school in Paris. First I took a language
course. After refreshing my language skills and obtaining a lot
of new inspiration and knowledge due to this course I was more confident
in speaking French. Besides the daily office work I was therefore
responsible for finding new host families and visiting them to make
sure that the accommodations met with our approval. It was very
exciting for me to conduct this project by myself. I had a lot of
friendly colleagues who were always there to help me. This was a
real challenge given to me and I found this type of work very enjoyable.
Furthermore I created information material and gained a lot of computer
knowledge. I enjoyed staying in Paris and working at the French
school very much. I could recommend to everyone to participate in
a work program at the French school and to make the same experiences
like I did and get to know the language and the people as well as
the country as it is only possible while staying for a longer period
as a tourist normally does."
Adina Zettisch (Germany)
"I now have a good idea
of the way of life of a French family. It is one of the nicest experiences
of my life so far."
Naomi (Japan)
"Very friendly and professional."
John, Product Manager (U.S.A.)
"I feel that staying in
a family provided me with real insight into the French way of Life,
as well as a complete immersion in the language."
Rebecca (Australia)
"The classes are extremely
interactive, with most emphasis being placed on oral development.
The materials and references you receive are invaluable."
Bernd (Germany)
"Attending the language
school in Paris is definitely money well spent. The fact is that
Accord experience forces you to learn and attempt to utilize copious
amounts of "practical" French - and the joy of eventual
success is incomparably exhilarating."
Chiara (Australia)
"Thanks to your school,
I passed the CCIP commercial French examination. I learnt a lot
in Olivier's class and I made lots of friends. Thank you!"
Eugenia Chvetsova (Russia)
"… I had the chance
to participate in a practical work program at the language school
in Paris. For 2 months I worked in the administration office with
all the other employees who are responsible for accommodation, registration,
cultural activities and all the different work functions that are
necessary to organize a language school. I first took a French language
course which enabled me to improve my language knowledge. Furthermore
I gained more confidence to express myself in the foreign language
due to the French course, as this was the first time for me to work
in a company abroad. My tasks differed from day to day which made
my work experience interesting and challenging. One of the tasks
was to represent the school at several foreign embassies. For a
week I was also responsible to manage the work at the premises of
the Junior program Here I met a lot of young people and the atmosphere
was therefore very relaxed and spontaneous. I can recommend this
program to everyone who wants to learn a foreign language and also
gain work experience abroad."
Corina Weissbach (Germany)
"My teachers were excellent
and the atmosphere of the school wonderful. I'll never forget these
8 weeks spent in Paris."
Antonio (Spain)
"My friends suggested the
French language school. I went there and was very satisfied. Now
I recommend this school to my friends."
Maria (Italy)
