We had a very good experience with Stein Study. My daughter had never really been put into a situation where she spoke French and she got a lot out of it. I would definitely recommend the course to others.

It was great fun, I met lots of people that I will be friends with for a very long time. I’ve also made great memories.

The school was great and I learnt loads of french. The teacher that I had (Jean Luc) was very helpful also! The host family I stayed with was very nice and she helped us with our french a lot because she always spoke french to us.

My French was not great when I came to La Rochelle but was not bad and I did not have much confidence to speak it but spending 4 weeks here it has improved written, oral and aural. The French were very patient in La Rochelle when I was trying to speak French, more then I expected and were great help when it came to try to find an English word in French. The Leaving Cert practice was also very beneficial to me as I got to correct it with a French person. The class hours and activities were amazing. I personally feel the activities got me to speak French more casually and the not like school work. My French has improved here in La Rochelle, I was very happy with my stay and would love to return.

Overall it was a very good experience and I really enjoyed it. Most of the classes were very good and I learned a lot. I do think that some of the exam prep classes were a bit long. All the organized activities were really fun and enjoyable. The house was very nice and in a good location not being too far from school or the town. I would recommend this to others.

The family I stayed with were very friendly and accommodating , the teachers were very relaxed and helpful, much more enjoyable than regular school, the trips were tiring but enjoyable and gave me the opportunity to further practice my french, I learned a lot!
