This was my jam on our trip to Paris! I couldn't wait to visit Sorbonne and get into the Pantheon…read more As a social studies teacher, I do an entire unit on the Enlightenment period, my favorite period in history, pulling the population out of the darkness of superstition and traditions into the LIGHT of political theories and sciences. I couldn't wait to see my heroes Voltaire and Rousseau's final resting place as well as Victor Hugo and Marie Curie. We took a lengthy walk around the Sorbonne neighborhood..........absolutely beautiful! The entry fee for the Pantheon was 13.00 I think. Well worth the visit. The first floor is devoted to epic artwork and amazing statues. Descend into the catacombs to visit the internment of France's most influential thinkers and revolutionary heroes. Honestly, it was a pretty emotional experience for me. This was a 10 star event that should not be missed on any trip to Paris. I could do this 100 times and love every minute.

I had tried Rosetta Stone French but struggled with understanding even basic verb grammar. So when…read morean opportunity to be in Paris for a few months presented itself I was thrilled, but I had no idea which language school to pick! Looked on here and on Trip Advisor - Langue Appart' was rated highest on both. So I signed up hoping it would be good; instead it was excellent! I wound up taking a bit less than three months of classes and was stunned at how much progress I made thanks to Mélanie's teaching. She has a tremendous gift for knowing the right level of challenge for students, and explained all of the concepts clearly. The other students in my class and I were serious about becoming fluent, so she pushed us much harder than I expected, but was also endlessly patient even when we forgot things repeatedly. It was wonderful to learn more quickly than I had imagined was possible - all the French friends I made in Paris were shocked at how good my French was for such a short period of study! :) I also loved my fellow students - our classwork kept us engaged because in addition to useful phrases and words we were given the opportunity to share (with no pressure to be deep) about ourselves, our cultures, and our perspectives using whatever grammar we were learning at the moment. Even more fun because we were all from different parts of the world! I don't usually write reviews but am happy to make an exception for Langue Appart'! PS. The other teacher, Michael, seemed like he was really good too; I met some of his students and they were very happy with their experiences as well. And Carolina, the admin, was incredibly supportive and went out of her way to be generously helpful to me multiple times. If you choose to go, j'espère que vous apprécierez aussi!

I couldn't have been happier with my experience at Langue Appart'. I was there for two weeks…read more taking group classes in the morning with Bryan as well as two private lessons a week with Melanie. I am an Intermediate student B2. The group lessons were well structured with clear goals and a little homework to reinforce what we had learned. Bryan let the conversation flow (all in French) and then took a pause to correct us individually - pronunciation, grammar and expression. It was an intimate class and I felt really at ease - challenged but encouraged! And the other students were really great. The individual lessons with Melanie were more conversational. The first day we worked on "la vie quotidienne" - I was so shocked at the holes in my vocabulary when I tried to describe making pasta - but now I know. We discussed art, culture, politics (I was there during the election so it could not be ignored) and our last day we had a pot luck "pause dej." with students from all the classes. The school is small and the caring and really affordable. A perfect fit for me. Can't wait to return. Merci équipe Langue Appart'

I spent 2 hours a morning for 5 days in November with Caroline. I truly enjoyed our time together…read moreas she was kind and gentle with her teaching plans. She encouraged me to parler francais as much as I could. She also spent time walking and talking and enjoying Paris with me. We shopped at at fresh produce market, ate some wonderful eastern foods and toured a small musee in Montmarte! I stayed in a great little hotel just blocks from her apartment. I planned my stay around her location and was not disappointed in the neighborhood, her tutoring or my entire experience! I know I returned home a little more comfortable with my pronunciations. I would recommend Caroline as she structured her lessons around my needs and comfort level.

Highly recommend Caroline if you are looking to work on your French while in Paris. I just finished…read morea two-week intensive (90 min sessions, M-F) and found it very helpful for advancing my conversational French. Caroline quickly adapts the coursework to areas that will help you improve the most, so it really feels like every minute is used wisely. We worked through advanced grammar points, brushed up on some basics, and also worked through vocabulary for everyday situations which I put to work immediately while on vacation. She is very responsive over email and very kind and helpful in person-- I sent her an email from the US a few weeks before my trip and was able to schedule all of the sessions in advance. Looking forward to studying again with Caroline next time I'm in Paris!

I attended Campus Langues for a week to take French. During this week, I had the chance to sit in…read moreboth Catherine and Sylvain's class, and I found both to be superb teachers. I loved their positive and energetic attitudes! I especially appreciated the fact that Sylvain often went off topic or too deep into a topic, which gave students the opportunity to listen to "real life" French, and not just textbook/classroom French. I also really appreciated the fact that they did not speak anything other than French in class, which really forced the students to use the language, and I also really liked the format of the class; they both followed a textbook and the class was well structured. I once enrolled in an Alliance de France course in the US, and it was so disorganized (no textbook, no syllabus, no handout or homework, nothing) I didn't benefit from the class at all, so I was glad that Campus Langues was not the case. In terms of the other reviews complaining that the business does not cater to all students' specific needs, I would say if it is what you seek then you should attend a real university course where semesters are definite and registration is limited to ensure everyone starts and ends at the same time so no excuses. Campus Langues' ability to accept students at anytime means that students should be aware and ready to jump into material being studied at the time of their joining the course. That is the the purpose of the online test pre-registration, and if students feel they were not adequately placed, then there is always the opportunity to switch, as I did, or better yet, take a one-on-one course. The only cons I would say were that the individuals who sat in offices and who I did interact with were nasty (did not appear to be happy to be at work) and, Campus Langues does overbook classes, unfortunately. Not sure if this is a miss in their registration process or if they simply ignore capacity limits but, something to be aware of; however, the teachers did make a great effort to ensure all students had the opportunity to speak during class. An additional comment is that I did hear from other students that not all teachers cared as much as Catherine and Sylvain and were short and mean in their methods, especially if subbing. Overall, even if I only attended for a week, I really felt I benefited from the class and would definitely recommend.

Terrible experience here. The classes are not expensive so they are usually packed and teaching…read morejust moves along. Worst experience was that I was moved to another level and the receptionist told me that the level was full. I had to drop out and campus langues is refusing to give me anything back because they said I shouldnt have listened to the receptionist?!!! Do not recommend!
