CLC is an excellent language school that I want to return to! Montreal is so close to Vermont where…read moreI live. It's the obvious locale for studying French, but which school? I highly recommend CLC.
Every CLC instructor I had was dynamic, expert at teaching, kind, full of humor, and very attentive to each student. I was stunned by the specificity of the feedback they provided about my progress. And I did progress. I can only imagine if I'd been able to stay two months instead of two weeks.
My classmates' French seemed at a compatible level with mine, and we quite naturally supported each other. Our teachers' guidance got us sharing from the heart about our lives and world views, all in the language we were learning. I already miss my new friends.
I took the Intensive 25. Starting at 10 a.m., I had three 45-minute classes, each with a different teacher. They were energetic, tuned in to everything and everyone, and never boring. When the 2nd or 3rd teacher of the day came in, they would often pick up on what we'd been working on with the previous teacher. This is a superb level or organization and internal communication.
Three afternoons per week, I had a 1-hour private lesson. The Intensive 25 includes fun afternoon activities. I attended French Tea Time to practice my French (with yummy donated tea from David's) and had fun at English Tea Time, too, helping English learners practice.
The Intensive 25 is the program I would take again. I will most likely continue my studies with a CLC video class, too. I want to build on the gains I made here!
