Her Feedback

“Geared up to embrace the French realm”

“Just wrapped up my intensive ten-day session. Every moment was delightful. Beginning with just a smattering of terms, I certainly believe I’m far better prepared now. I feel like I’ve crossed the initial (and often toughest) hurdle of mastering French. With my pair of Phrases-clés CDs, I’m set to face the world!

“A completely new teaching method”

“Bernard’s teaching method was an eye-opener. He teaches in a fluid manner, fostering plenty of discussions (which I prioritized) and emphasizes on equipping me with usable phrases tailored to my needs. His never-ending patience is remarkable. It’s evident he’s passionate about his work, and it genuinely inspired me. Our sessions were filled with amusement and chuckles. I sense this is just the start of our educational bond: Bernard has promised that I can reach out anytime, be it for queries or merely a friendly conversation (in French, naturally).”

“Welcoming ambiance and kindheartedness”

Speaking of my time at chez Henusse – oh, it was enchanting from the instant I set foot in their quaint rural abode. Instantly feeling like home, I was greeted heartily by the elegant Veronique and their gifted child, Theo. My time during the Immersion Course was made unforgettable because of the affection and big-heartedness showered upon me by this amazing family.

“And the homemade dishes… Oh, heavens.”
