One-to-One

During the Intermediate and GCSE revision courses, you will have the opportunity of a one-to-one with a native French speaker with no English ability. The experience will allow you to really practise your French in a real life situation. 

We have found the experience to be enjoyable and very rewarding for both the English speaker and the native French speaker.

"The one-to-one activity made the course a more interesting and challenging experience. I was nervous beforehand, but the people were very friendly and helpful and had been well prepared for such an encounter. I don't know any other course which offers this." (Mrs O, from Surrey)

"The opportunity to have a one-to-one conversation with a local resident was extremely enjoyable and a real boost to my confidence." (C, from Worcester)

The one-to-one experience is both challenging and rewarding for both parties. The conversation can be on any subject you like. If you have difficulty finding things to talk about, don't worry, as you are provided with written prompts and ideas to help you. Students and French counterpart, always enjoy the experience.

The one-to-one lasts approximately one hour and is followed by an informal aperitif in the old Cottage. The conversation in French continues reinforcing the entente cordiale.
