Description
Toulouse, located between the Pyrenees, the Atlantic Ocean
and the Mediterranean Sea, owes its independence to its
rebel history (the heretic cathars) and to its present
industrial technology. It is wellknown like "the
pink city" because of the red bricks of the buildings.
Toulouse offers a wonderful cuisine to the visitors. The
courses are dictated in the second floor of a beautiful
building in downtown, five minutes away from Place du
Capitole and the historical cathedral. In the neighborhoods
there is an enormous park with a Japanese garden. Two
minutes away , the bus-stop Jeanne-d'Arc and the subway
make possible the access to all the city.
Lodging
The lodging possibilities are the following: apartment
shared with French people, family house with half board
(breakfast and dinner) and hotel.
Academics
The French classes are dictated in small groups of 5 to
10 students. The classes are centered in the French grammar
to improve the oral and written expression and the pronunciation
and intonation of the language. Diverse methods adapted
to the needs of each student: photographs videos, songs,
roleplaying, expression games and memorization. The debate
on social subjects allows the improvement of the vocabulary
and its use. After a course of 3 or more weeks, the students
have the option of a written and oral final exam. The
school gives a Certificate according to the European Council
principles. Linguistic exchanges with French people are
made.
