The first day I was given words one could use when meeting someone new. I thought how silly. I've been meeting new people for 3 years. But these phrases and words were not how I had been introducing myself. What a difference this class made. I felt more french and more confident with each lesson. Each week I learned useful everyday words and expressions that I used the minute I left the class. Fabienne is patient and kind and the material is clear and interactive.

Caroline is a phenomenal teacher and wonderful person to chat with :-)…read moreI took several weeks of lessons with Caroline and did 2 hour lessons each day M-F. Each of our lessons flew by quickly. She tailored each class to what I was interested in learning and answered all of my questions about different scenarios as well as general q's of living in Paris. She was flexible with scheduling all of our times together and easy to work with through e-mail. Her willingness to travel to my apartment also made taking the classes much easier on myself. Highly recommended! If you're in Paris and need a french tutor, Caroline is the perfect choice and worth every penny.

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.

I had a couple of teachers, but mainly Bruno who is a very engaging, encouraging and pleasant teacher. All the teachers were great. the reason I chose Accord over other languages was that they were very responsive from the first contact I had with them and continued to be very helpful and honest in their answers. I wasn't sure whether I would fit in to the regular level of classes as I'm a little older or to take the over 50s classes. However, I am well travelled a lot and didn't want to be babysat either. They advised me to take the regular classes and that they would be mixed...average age late 29s to early 30s, but younger and older as well. I liked all of my classmates very much. It was a good international group. The school really understood where I would fit well. I hope to return to the school sometime in the next couple of years and take more classes with them.

I had two instructors, Jacqueline and Agnes, and both were very good. Jacqueline is more dynamic, Agnes more reserved, but both are outstanding. I am retired, but there were students of all ages. I doubt there are markedly better schools and the quartier is hard to beat - I walked across the Champs de mars every day to class.

She's so patient and understanding when you aren't prepared or just aren't getting it. She did a fantastic job preparing me for a DELF exam. We had done many practice scenarios so I was well prepared for both the content and the format of the testing. I've recently moved to France and she's also answering my integration questions and has helped me role play new situations such as the dry cleaner, the cheese shop, the produce market and so on. She's helped me feel more comfortable speaking and interacting in french. I highly recommend Agnes as a teacher, I feel lucky to be working with her.

Really enjoyed and very grateful for French lessons with Agnes. I studied with Agnes for ~2 months…read moreand she helped me basically go from zero to feeling comfortable with some originally daunting tasks (e.g. ordering from restaurants / cafes, asking questions in shops). I appreciate how  Agnes was open to tailoring our learning plan to my goals, but also had a very organized and thoughtful system for expanding my grammatical sense and vocabulary. She also had great balance between patiently allowing me to learn by experimenting but also interjecting with timely pronunciation / grammatical / cultural context. And she was very easy to schedule lessons with. She has a busy schedule, but she was very reliable and responsive in helping setting up a lesson schedule. Also, I did all my lessons on video and her approach there is wonderful as well. Agnes is a nice person and a great teacher, so highly recommend!

I had an absolutely fabulous experience with Lutece Langue. I'm a raw beginner at French (though I…read moredid do some prep work with Duolingo, Memrise, and podcasts), and also a working adult. I came to Paris for 2 weeks of classes as a way of broadening myself, to improve my ability to function in France and French-speaking countries, and as a way to meet people and make friends on my solo vacation in France. Lutece Langue was perfect in every way. The website is well-organized, and allows you to sign up for precisely the classes and after-class field trips that you want. There is a written test that should be downloaded, completed, and emailed in, and a telephone oral exam that should be completed 2 weeks prior to commencing class. Some of my classmates neglected to complete those steps, but without significant adverse effects. The school itself is located on the fourth floor (or 3rd floor, by European reckoning) of a building halfway between the Chatelet train station and the Pompidou Centre. There is a small elevator that is retrofitted into the stairwell, but most of the students just climb the stairs. The school consists of about five small classrooms. There are air conditioners in several of them, but they don't generally use them, and the classes could get rather warm as we were struggling to conjugate "etre" properly. The class size was nice and small. The largest class I was in had 8 students, the smallest was 2. The average was about 3 or 4. I have heard horror stories about other schools that are giant mills with little or no individual attention, and Lutece Langue is the opposite of that: each student gets a lot of one-on-one instruction and practice. Most of the students were Americans, but we also had Canadians, Japanese, and Russian students. Ages ranged from 24 to 78, with an even distribution along that spectrum. The reasons for coming to the school were as varied as the students: some students were going to grad school in Paris and needed French for their upcoming programs of study; some had married French people and moved there, some were on vacation and just improving themselves, like me. The instructors were all superb: particular kudos to Marie, who is super-cheerful, and Caroline, who is patient, funny, and kind. Lessons typically run from 9 AM to 12:15 PM, Monday to Friday, with a 15-minute break halfway through. This allows the afternoon and evening to be free for exploring the city and relaxation. There is some homework, but it is not too onerous. Lutece Langue is a superb program, and I am already preparing my return.

I just got back from studying at Lutèce Langue for two weeks. I worked with Beatrice, Maud,…read moreAlmandine, and for a workshop, with Candy. All of them were wonderful. The director, Eriko, is extremely organized and professional and the school is very well run. They really know what they are doing. The school is beautiful. Everyone is kind and patient, but they also have expectations and standards, which are for the benefit of every student. After a week in a small group setting, they helped me to figure out was best for me, which turned out to be private classes, because I was a bit too impatient with the speed of my class. I do think their classes are wonderful -- very small size, and effectively structured, but I was extremely eager to talk, to use my french, and for that, their private teachers were a better fit. If you want to really improve your french and have some time in Paris, this is a fantastic school. Lots of students are people who live in Paris (most, in my classes), who wanted to improve their french for professional reasons. The school is on a gorgeous street in the 7th. It has no downsides whatsoever. If you go there, you'll be very glad, without any regrets at all.
