A week learning French in Nice

Bonjour from Texas! I have just returned from a week in Nice studying with Genevieve and I can't say enough good things about my stay. Firstly, the instruction was top-notch. Each day she assessed my needs and tailored the day's lesson to me. At the end of the week, she gave me suggestions of on-line and print resources that would help me on my road to fluency.

The thrue value of an immersion course”

I had the pleasure of staying with Genevieve for 2 weeks in December 2015.  A last-minute opportunity arose to stay with Genevieve when a cancellation provided an opening – how fortunate for me was that cancellation, as Genevieve is a very busy and sought-after teacher!  My French was very rusty with significant holes in my understanding and application of the language.

 French teacher in Nice

Geneviève is an excellent teacher and hostess.  She adapted very well to my level of french. Here is a bright, capable lady that takes charge.  I thought that three hours a day might be too much, but it wasn't.  The days are flexible, we even went by train to Monte Carlo for a day trip.  Most of the time she spoke in french, unless I made a funny face

I have had a great time with Geneviève . She is such a good teacher. When I got stuck on a grammar point she was very patient and would explain until I understood.

French Immersion : one feels more confident

Thank you for the time with you in Nice – one week for Annika and also a second one for Filip. Annika: When we came I must admit I was a bit affected by all the comments I had from colleagues - What, are you going on vacation to study French?? They didn`t say: Are you out of your mind; but the message was pretty clear. So I was wondering if we had made the right choice?)

When searching for a French immersion course, I quickly choose Genevieve, partly because of the personality I sensed from her website and partly because I wanted to return to the French Riviera.

I came to study with Genevieve after studying for some weeks at another school in France. I needed to 'fine tune' my understanding of the language and that is exactly what she provided.
