…I can not praise the course enough… it is excellent. A language teaching method that is scientifically and meticulously planned to offer each individual every opportunity and every tool to learn and / or improve their language skills. If you are looking to learn French or improve your existing French, you need to look no further !

I’ve studied French for several years, but via various methods. The program of LE FRANÇAIS FACE À FACE was the only program that focused on my grammar to the extent that all the various elements of the language came together. At the end of 5 days, I felt that I understood the concepts _ but what was just as important to me was that Emmanuelle provided a method for me to continue my practice also.
The structure of the program is ideal _ excellent method, thoroughly professional AND enjoyable instructor, immersion, solitude in beautiful and stimulating surroundings, thorough materials…
Ideally, I would enjoy returning annually to continue improving. With Emmanuelle’s instruction, there is no limit to the level of competency possible !

Emmanuelle,
It was truly a pleasure to be your student. I enjoyed every moment of the experience. Your program is much more than a language school. It is also sharing a meal with interesting convesations (in French), about visits, driving through the valleys, visiting vineyards and exploring the true beauty of France. It is about learning French with a friend and I look forward to my return !
Merci pour tout !

Since I’ve done a one-week intensive programme at LE FRANÇAIS FACE À FACE, my French level improved a lot. I now can listen to the radio and especially France Inter and understand the discussions around me, I watch TV, movies on the French TV. I have experienced a wonderful week course, which is all the more important as I now live in France. I can definitely recommand the school, its method and Emmanuelle’s profesionnalism to anyone expecting to improve well and fast !

Emmanuelle, what can I say? You have the patience of a saint. It has been been a most intense fun learning experience ! I would and have already recommanded you ! Angers is a beautiful city and the cultural experience of being here has been worthwhile ! If I go for the job, I will invite you and your family to Paris ! Thank you so very much !

Dear Emmanuelle,
Thank you so much for everything. I had an incredible week in Angers. I can’t believe how much French I learned in such a short time. You are an extraordinary teacher. In addition, I loved Angers. We ate well, drank well, and worked hard. I plan to come back to Angers and buy the beautiful chateau. See you soon! Thank you.

Dear Emmanuelle,
Thank you so much for this week of total immersion in the French language and culture. I learned so much, both during the course and outside of it, and we laughed a lot together. On top of that, you showed me and helped me understand a lot of things about the French language that I had never heard of before. I’ll save the most important part for last: you are a lovely person and it’s a real pleasure to work and talk with you. I hope we stay in touch. Thank you for being you, and see you next time!

Dear Emmanuelle, It’s been a month since I completed the wonderful French program with you. Time has gone by so quickly! I’m sending you this e-mail to tell you in writing what I’ve already told you in person. I hope you’ll print it out and include it with the other testimonials from your satisfied students. What’s more, I’ll be sending you our photo in front of Sodaroom from my iPhone. As you know, I have this great desire to be able to “speak French”. I only wish I’d been inspired as a teenager to immerse myself in the language. But I guess it’s better to start late than never. I love France, the French and French culture, so it’s only natural to be able to communicate in the language. Your program – that’s you as a talented teacher – has targeted my needs exactly. Your kindness, patience and appreciation of my specific level made all the difference and enabled me to achieve the happy results in the two weeks I spent in Angers. There’s still a lot of work to do (!), but you’ve helped me build a much better foundation for progress. I hope to return to Le Français Face à Face one day and take the next step in my French language immersion program . Until then, I’ll be studying on my own, confident that every sincere effort I make will help me progress. Thank you again for your involvement and for making my stay in Angers so rewarding. We’ll be in touch.

Now I’m much more self-confident and I’m leaving with lots of new ideas for continuing to learn French. Thank you, Emmanuelle, for everything!”

Merci Emmanuelle pour cette expérience, l’une des plus surprenantes et des plus belles que j’aie vécues ! Le programme que vous avez conçu a de beaucoup dépassé mes attentes. You prepared my program perfectly. The apartment is magnificent, the individualized course and the sites you showed me in Angers were incredible! But the best thing of all was meeting you. Patience is a virtue, and you are the most virtuous person in the world. See you soon!

Lindsey P., Swiss, 37 years old, professional motivation
What a wonderful week! You are an exceptional teacher (and also kind, pleasant, funny…). I have to admit that I was a little worried about following a program like this. I thought: “Studying French all day is going to be really difficult for me, maybe even a nightmare”, but no, not at all! It was an unforgettable week! Your teaching method made the course very interesting, with lots of varied exercises, but also a lot of fun (we laughed a lot). I’m a bit sad to be leaving. Please come and see me in Zurich! (and… bring your comfortable shoes! ah ah ah!) See you next year!”

Sergio and Eva, Spanish, +30 years old, professional motivation
After two weeks with you here in Angers, it’s time to head back to Spain, and today we’re leaving. We are now assessing our progress and finding it fantastic. We’re very happy to be going home and seeing our children again, but we also feel a little sad because we’ve had so much fun during our working sessions with you. It was a great and unforgettable experience that we will carry with us forever.”

Risa I., Japanese, age 23, personal motivations
Emmanuelle, It was a very satisfying week, both academically and culturally. As I told you before I came, it was difficult for me to continue progressing now, given my advanced level in French and my year of living as a student of French as a second language in the South of France. And yet, you did, and honestly, I learned a lot! I’ve met quite a few French teachers before you, and you’re among the best. You immediately noticed my weak points and we worked on each of these areas for improvement all week. Now, I can’t claim to have mastered them perfectly yet, but I’m on the right track. What I want to say is that after a year of learning in France, I’m very lucky to have met you, especially just before returning to my country. I’m sure

Julia P., New Zealander, 59, personal motivation
I was lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in total immersion with Emmanuelle in November 2017. Her face-to-face teaching method and approach yielded great results and created precious memories of a month spent in Angers. The program is perfectly tailored to each student and the teaching method is very precise. It is particularly aimed at consolidating what has been learned and has quite simply produced the best results I’ve had to date, in my many years of studying French. What I really noticed was how much my ear got used to listening to French and how much more confident I became in conversation. Every morning, we concentrated on the lesson and its specific grammar point. Then we’d have lunch in downtown restaurants, and spend the afternoon discovering Angers and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this program to any level, as you’ll be totally immersed in French and get positive results! Emmanuelle is a wonderful, patient and encouraging teacher! Thank you very, very much! The course was incredible! You are a great teacher! I appreciated all your teaching, encouragement and patience! I really liked the variety of the program I chose. The cultural program, a mix of classes and visits, was perfect for me. I’ll long remember the laughter we had when we visited the Château du Plessis-Bourré! I’ll miss you, dear friend! All the best,

Emmanuelle, Thank you so much for a great course. It was a pity that it was raining when I arrived in Angers. Emmanuelle gave me a warm welcome and the apartment was great. The course isn’t called “intensive” for nothing, and I really liked the nature and variety of the exercises, always with a fluid transition from one subject to the next. I discovered that French is a language with many peculiarities and exceptions, but Emmanuelle is wonderful and explains everything. Unfortunately, we couldn’t eat out during our stay because of the confinement. We made up for it with dishes we prepared ourselves in the apartment kitchen. I had a great experience! It’s a shame it’s over. I’d love to do it again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
