FRENCH COURSES ABROAD
INFO:
Our team will advise you
according to your needs, so please feel free to contact us for any advice
or if you simply want to chat through our range of French courses in France
or abroad. We offer the following French courses:
General French Course
This is the most popular course among our French courses abroad, and runs
throughout the year at all levels from beginners to advanced. Classes
focus on the four main language skills of speaking, listening, reading
and writing, combined with aspects of local culture. This course is recommended
for those who wish to learn the language at a steady pace and attracts
students of all ages and backgrounds. Classes usually take place Monday
to Friday in the morning, although in high season they make take place
in the afternoon.
Intensive French Course
This course is similar to the general course in that it runs throughout
the year and at all levels from beginners to advanced. It is recommended
for those who want to take a French course abroad but who may have less
time to study and/or who want more intensive language tuition each week.
The average age is usually higher than that of the general course and
student motivation is strong. Classes focus on the four main language
skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, and take place Monday
to Friday both in the morning and the afternoon.
Individual French Course
This is the one of our most effective French courses abroad, and is designed
to adapt to the specific requirements of you, the student. It is tailor-made
to your individual needs and interests, and will progress at just the
right speed for you. At the beginning of the course you will sit down
with your teacher and discuss your requirements and goals. Sometimes you
will alternate teachers to give you exposure to different French accents
and/or to learn vocabulary specific to your business. Unlike group courses,
it is sometimes possible to start your individual course on a day other
than a Monday.
Combined French Course
This course is ideal for combining the experience of learning the language
in a group whilst at the same time receiving individual classes. The group
classes in the morning encourage student interaction and help you improve
your practical communication skills. The individual classes in the afternoon
allow you to work on areas you may feel need extra practise or which are
of particular interest to you. The students who usually take this type
of course are generally highly motivated to learn as much French as they
can in the shortest time possible. Classes take place Monday to Friday.
Cactus also offers additional French courses abroad, such as mini group,
business, specialist and long-term courses. The Cactus team will be pleased
to provide you with more information about these courses.
ACCOMMODATION INFO:
Cactus not only offers a wide range of French courses abroad, but also
a range of accomodation to suit your needs.
Host family: Living with a local family is by far the best way to complement
your French course abroad. This will mean you are actually staying in
the house of a carefully selected family, in close vicinity of the school,
and have the unique opportunity to experience French culture first-hand!
Student residence: This is a great
way to meet other students from all over the world.
Shared flat: A third accommodation
option available with some schools is the shared flat or apartment,
usually in close vicinity of the school.
With Cactus you also have the option of choosing
other types of accomodation such as private flats or hotels: please
contact us for details.
