"It was an amazing experience..!!"

Martha Weisse, student from Germany

It was an amazing experience to visit Azurlingua. From the beginning until the last day.. From the friendly welcome from the school director and my teacher, Fabienne. She was amazing, an excellent and a professional teacher. I learned a lot.
The school facilities were very good. Specially the activities offered from the school and care from Chloe. It was a very amusing and entertaining time. Giving us the chance to integrate and understand the french history and culture!
My housing experience was extraordinary!! My guest family welcome me very warm and kind. It's a lovely family!!
In general was an incredible experience, one of the best I ever had (I had several cultural vacations)!! :-)) Merci beaucoup!!!
Thank you Andrea :-)

"A great week to revise forgotten things and get more confident with the language."

Carl-Frederik Zeh, student from Germany

The school is located very central in Nice. I booked my own accommodation and it was very easy to find something in walking distance. After the school tested the my level everyone got into a course. Therefore you don't receive a schedule before the first day. I would have preferred to know my schedule in advance to be able to plan around. Nevertheless the organization was very good and the schedule easy to understand. The quality of the teaching was very good and my French skills definitely improved. It was a blessing that they had air conditioning, because it would have been impossible to focus with temperatures over 30 degrees.I didn't participate in the optional social activities, therefore I can give no feedback on that.

"Great Experience Overall"

Jack Deino, student from USA

An overall decent experience. A bit weird being in a class with much younger students ( some not entirely motivated to learn I thought), but it would be hard to Find the opportunity to take daily lessons otherwise. Teachers and staff are extremely engaged and strive to make classes enjoyable as they are useful. Nice facilities in a decent central location.

"A memorabile and helpful experience."

Ilaria Hoffmann, student from Italy

First of all I would like to point out that thanks to Azurlinga I made friendships that I still talk to today. The classes were good and easy to follow especially because i had a very patient and kind teacher. The location didn’t cause me a lot of trouble since the school bus would bring me from the center to the Ecalyptus school. Next the activities were very enjoyable, well planned and great fun. I stayed in a host family and the woman i stayed with was extremely nice and welcoming. What i liked the most about azurlinga was the fast connections one could make thanks to the fact that we all have wanting to learn better french in common. Sadly I didn’t like the cafeteria food a lot and the bathrooms in the school. Otherwise I would this experience helped me get out of my comfort zone and I will definitely recommend to my friends since it was a useful experience

"It helped me learn to understand French listening better than ever."

Christian Nassif, student from USA

I liked that the teacher was easy to understand, mixed new vocabulary into practice without it being confusing, and helped us with grammar without forcing boring repetition. On my last day, we went to the train station on order to practice coming up with and conducting man on the street interviews. That was a great lesson and practice of skills.

"A great teacher and nice environment."

Ron van Oijen, student from Netherlands

The settings of the school and the classroom for private lessons were very good. But the teacher was great. I have learnt a lot from her in a very pleasant way.

What could be improved is the recognition on the Internet of the school. I found the school by coincidence, and it was only after I paid a visit to the school that I paid my down payment. The pictures should be improved and the website should pop up sooner and be more customer centric.

For private lessons you could add a practice class. go with the teacher to the station, airport, hotel, bakery, restaurant, tourist center, etc. to practice your skills.

The teachers were all very kind and welcoming and also provided a good experience of learning better French. My housing was good however the food could have been better. The activities were fine but could have also been better.

"The best & useful trip to Nice with my lovely Azurlingua"

Yekaterina

When I was a child, I started to learn French in my school (in Kazakhstan). I started as a beginner, but I knew a lot of French words and grammar. Once my teacher proposed me to go to Nice with Azurlingua. I tried it. I was so surprised of my fast improving in French. That`s why I keep returning to this language school every year. This year i had a chance to be on "Campus central" (it`s Azurlingua for adults, so it was something new for me), and to be in a class with Nicolas, who i know since I was 13 (he is really funny and friendly with me) and Agnès. She is so interesting. Grâce à eux je parle bien français! I would like to add that in October I passed successfully DELF B2 because of DELF preparation courses with Aurelie who works there.

Everything was great: teachers, school ambiance, especially funny excursions with Eric. Even if I was far away of my family, Azurlingua helped me not to feel alone. I`m so happy to be here. I hope that I`ll come back to see everybody working in Azurlingua again! Because I love them so much

"Full of emotions"

Demetra Negro

The lessons are well organized. During the lessons the teachers deal with variety of different topics and the grammar is in-depth. The students are well followed by the teachers because there is an average class size of 8 - 12 students.

The location is very accessible, the school is close to the station and not far from the center (place Masséna). Many activities are proposed by the animation office during the all week and weekend, to give the opportunity to all the students to visit the entire blue coast.

As regards housing, I very much enjoyed staying in the residence. It is located above the school and very comfortable.
The only problem is to share the kitchen with other students who have different habits than yours, and something it can be a reason for discussion.

For the rest I had a beautiful experience in Azurlingua, the stuff have been kind and always available to everyone.
