Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in French.

First of all: I did not stay in the family. I just came to the place for my daily three hours course.
Location: Nice appartment in an lively area of Paris
Teacher: friendly
Good mixture of grammer and just talking
What did I expect:
I was not aware that the teacher has a full time job in a company and does the lessons on top during her working hours. It turned out ok as we were not interrupted but is a bit of a strange feeling that a person is doing two jobs at the same time.
I expected that I had fixed hours e.g. in the morning. The hours were every day on a different time. It worked for me but of course is my concentration in the evening lower then in the mornings
I expected to get homework from the topics we discussed during the three hours.
I expected to get school material ( sheets with explanations and sheets to fill in the learned topics- grammar, etc.). We did everything by discussing and talking and writing everything down on paper. Which was ok too. I studied back home in my books I brought from Germany.
I think that a written structure would help after the first get to know meeting so the pupil knows what tpoics will be discussed.
I took lessons in legal French with Claude and loved it! I improved my French a lot and learned a lot of new things.

She helped me not only with my grammar and speaking skills, but taught me a lot about history and culture. She took me on a number of interesting excursions, including the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Versailles and a tour of the Opera Garnier. I would highly recommend her as a professor and as a host.
