Students' comments
"Last week I attended an intensive B course at ACCORD.
I wish to compliment and thank my teacher on giving me an extremely positive experience.
Nolwenn is an incredibly talented teacher, her witticism her humour and her presentation skills were of the highest calibre, her patience with me and the others was exceptional. She made learning the scary aspects of conversation delightfully entertaining and good fun and was at all times very supportive in her manner.
I was able to obtain the Grammaire du Francaise and will certainly be continuing my learning.
best wishes." Kate (England)
"Thank you for another excellent week at Accord Language School. I am Director of a small UK company and the school offers me everything I want – excellent organisation, consistently high quality teaching with a variety of styles, as well as a lively mix of more mature and younger students all having a good time learning French. It’s great to have the flexibility of being able to start any week I want and to be immersed in French language and culture. Once again, I’ve enjoyed my time in Paris and I return home feeling rejuvenated, with my French much improved. Many thanks to you and your colleagues."

"...After attending the Accord French language program for three weeks in june this year, I can say that I am very impressed by the quality of the instruction, the variety of teaching techniques and the professionalism of the professeurs. (..)
It was a wonderful mind-altering experience, not just a language course! And I plan to return!" Dr. Claude Phipps, pres. - Photonic Associates, LLC (USA)
"... 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 programme 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 ACCORD 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 ACCORD very much. I could recommend to everyone to participate in a work programme at ACCORD 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 extremly interactive, with most emphasis being placed on oral development. The materials and references you receive are invaluable." Bernd (Germany)
"Attending the Accord language school is definitely money well spent. The fact is that Accord experience forces you to learn and attempt to utilise copious amounts of "practical" French - and the joy of eventual success is incomparably exhilerating." Chiara (Australia)
"Thanks to your school, I passed the CCIP comercial 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 programme at ACCORD 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 organise 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 programme. Here I met a lot of young people and the atmosphere was therefore very relaxed and spontaneous. I can recommend this programme to everyone who wants to learn a foreign language and also gain work experience abroad." Corina Weissbach (Germany)
