Learn to speak French like a native ..........!! en français en español
Enjoy a unique experience in the mild Mediterranean climate, getting to grips with the French language and the French lifestyle. Programme Description “Language and Lifestyle” is a 25-hour per week French programme designed to allow you to discover and enjoy various aspects of French culture and way of life while improving your language skills. The programme is run by native French speakers. Each day is based on a “theme”, for example - the cinema, French painters, food and drink, Montpellier, music and song, local traditions. The mornings are classroom-based French lessons which are used to develop the theme and introduce vocabulary. The morning lessons allow you to work with fellow students and take part in a variety of real-life tasks, language activities and project work relating to the day’s theme. The morning’s preparatory work, guided by a tutor, is followed by the afternoon visit or activity linked to the theme. The afternoon is led by a ‘Theme’ leader who will make the afternoon interesting and fun. One afternoon in the week is devoted to finding out, with a guided, walking tour and a short quiz, about the historic city of Montpellier and the changes that have made it the dynamic modern city it is today. This course caters for students with a language level from elementary to advanced. The emphasis is on everyday, spoken French for use in real-life tasks, to help increase your self-confidence and to improve your fluency. You learn the language at your own pace, from your own interests and with language input and guidance from your peer group, tutors and ‘Theme’ leaders.
