One of the best experiences of my life. Although this was back in 1999, I am sure the whole experience is still great. Nice is a great city. The apartment where I was placed had a great location and the classes were very professional and friendly. I am glad I did this back in 1999 when it did not cost and arm and a leg =).

Communication is key

Confident communication is at the heart of your success when you learn French abroad. In class, you build strong grammar foundations and expand your vocabulary. Outside the classroom, you bring the language to life in real conversations.

Your fluency grows as you engage in daily chats with locals, teachers, and classmates. You manage daily tasks, share your ideas clearly, and speak French with a true accent. Make a habit of paying attention and engaging in conversation often. This helps you improve your accent and develop a natural rhythm and intonation.

At SPRACHCAFFE in Nice and Paris, French surrounds you all day. In lessons, during cultural activities, and in your accommodation, you experience full immersion. The more you communicate, the less you translate in your head. You begin thinking in French. This is when real progress shows, and lasting international friendships start to grow.
