Course description

Discover the Pearls of the Swiss Riviera. Cities’ lakeside locations with breathtaking views of the Alpine panorama, their extraordinarily mild climate, the vineyards, numerous excursion destinations in the region and proud paddlewheel steamers on the lake characterize the Leman Lake. Don’t wait any longer and join us to take full advantage of your stay on the Riviera and learn French!

Students stay in a specially rented place for them: a spacious and traditional Swiss chalet in the mountain or a private apartment in one of the cities. Your lessons will take place every morning in the lounge area where you can also relax, read or socialize with other students after classes…. all with beautiful views of the mountains.

Daily Schedule:
8 – 10h Breakfast
10 – 11h 1st French class
11:15h – 12:15h 2nd French class
12:1h5 – 14h Lunch Pause
14h – 15h 3rd French Class
15h – 18h Activities with other students

After 18h every student can do what they prefer with their free time. We will provide you with a little Swiss guide book if you want to explore the Swiss Riviera / Geneva with other students.

As there are a maximum of six students at any time, each lesson will be personalized for you, focusing on exactly what you need. In addition, you will be able to put your French into practice as you share the daily life with people around you, with mealtime conversations, television and other activities all taking place in French.

In a conventional language school, students speak their own language with friends when they are not in class. You have the opportunity to speak French before, during and after your lessons…

"The place to be in Geneva!"

Natasa Gregor

The school was very supportive from the very beginning. They gave me advice on housing and visa, helped me with the enrollment, and of top of all, made me meet so many extraordinary people in Geneva. I learnt French quickly with my teacher, Irina.

I definitely recommend this school!
