Here's what our students have to say:

Having a central text to work through was rewarding, I could feel my vocabulary developing throughout the course. Also with the small class sizes I was surprised how quickly we could cover things and try speaking. I had a pretty easy time remembering what I learned and think I learned a lot in a small time! It was a lot of fun! I've never taken such a small language class before and was surprised how quickly we made progress. Having a comic to read also made it feel partly like a book club which I think worked well. It's satisfying to have learned French and read a book at the same time!

The workshop helped me in my reading comprehension, filling in basic gaps in my knowledge, building confidence. A really fun way to learn French. Intensive, high quality tuition!
Francis, A1+, Edinburgh Francis, A1+, Edinburgh
Speaking and expressing/ defending my opinions on the spot has always been challenging for me, but the workshop helped me work on that by providing many opportunities to speak and participate in the oral activities.
Jivanti, B2, Mumbai Jivanti, B2, Mumbai
The activities were designed perfectly which made the reading easy and comprehensible. The best part was the interaction based on the imaginary scenarios with the Readermates! I would definitely recommend attending one workshop as it is an enjoyable experience and also an amazing discovery along with some interesting activities. Waiting for another one!
