Learn French in Sarlat

Dynamic Australian company French Moments bring intensive language courses to Sarlat
Australian based language school French Moments is running a 12 day intensive course between the 1st and 12th September 2014 which combines 30 hours of lessons with a delightful balance of activities and excursions . There is also a healthy amount of down-time so you have time to relax and re-fuel , maybe savour some local produce or just curl up in the sunshine with a book !
The course is educational but fun , with a choice of levels which combine the French language with learning about the local and general French culture . Classes take place just a few minutes walk from the town centre in a beautiful manor house . Outings and workshops are varied and balanced to teach you about the local area and to enable you to experience France for yourself .
Lessons
There is a choice of two levels , so whether you are a more experienced French speaker or new to French there is an option for you ! The emphasis is on conversation but it is worked around a structured programme which includes some grammar , new vocabulary and cultural themes .
French Moments is very strong on teaching the culture alongside the language so we weave this through all the classes . The atmosphere is fun but focussed and students walk away having had the chance to practice their French , develop new skills and gain confidence .
Each class has a maximum of 10 people and all the teachers are well-qualified French natives who are passionate about teaching you French .
Each day you have two different teachers who swap at the break .
Programme
Throughout the course local excursions and cultural activities are organised in Sarlat and the Dordogne Valley . This is a great opportunity to discover the region and interact with locals ( in French !). French Moments has also allowed time for you to relax and most evenings are free except for the final celebration where there will be a beautiful dégustation dinner party with matching wines , presentation of awards , some special surprises and a moment to look back on all the wonderful memories !
