I have just returned from a lovely week studying French with Eliane in the Somme region of northern France. Eliane and her partner Benjamin could not have been friendlier or more welcoming.
Communication prior to the course was excellent and from our first emails Eliane was reassuring and helpful.
My French is very basic and my objective was to improve my aural comprehension. This was not a problem for Eliane. From breakfast time chat, through walking her dog together, structured lessons and delicious lunches, Eliane pitched our conversations perfectly.
I was also fortunate enough to meet Eliane’s charming grandmother who also enjoyed a chat which was further practise for me.
My accommodation in Eliane and Benjamins garden studio was ideal; clean, private, bright, comfortable and equipped with everything I needed.
During the week we visited Amiens, the forest at Compiegne and the museum at Albert where Eliane was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the area.
Before the course I was apprehensive that with my beginners French I would struggle but, due to Eliane’s warm and patient nature, it turned out to be a great experience that I would definitely recommend.
Merci mille fois Eliane.
