Classes take place from Monday to Friday and are organised in a "zig-zag" system, which means that they take place in the morning one week, in the afternoon the following week, and so on. The first day, following a general introduction of the campus and the city, you sit an evaluation test in order to be put into a class corresponding to your language level. Taught in a class of a maximum of 15 students, the 20 class periods per week allow you to acquire knowlege which guarantees to put you at ease when speaking the language and to give you a solid basis for writing. In this relaxed but studious environment, you will appreciate as much the quality and dynamism of the classes as your numerous new friends of all nationalities. The most dilgent students can take intensive classes, that is 10 lessons per week in addition to the standard programme, which means that in the afternoon, there will be two additional class periods.

Accommodation

Host family
Our partner school proposes accommodation with a host family. The students stay in double rooms and benefit from half board (morning and evening) with the family at weekends. From Monday to Friday, evening meals will be served in the school before evening activities. The midday meal is taken in various restaurants in the city, except on excursion days, when a packed lunch is distributed.
Please note: this type of accommodation is best suited to independent students who will be able to get to the school on their own using public transport.

On every floor,you share the showers and bathrooms with the other students. The EC staff is present and is available to listen to students on a 24-hour basis. The midday meal is taken in various restaurants in the city whilst the evening meal is given in the course centre's canteen.
