I would absolutely recommend Alpine French School! I loved the class, it was challenging, engaging, informative. I learned appropriate cultural information of France, Morzine, le vin etc. Nicolas est très gentil and fair and knowledgeable, formidable comme prof. I would highly recommend this school for the adult classes.

- Anonymous student of Nicolas, 2022

I have had a really positive experience with Nicolas and would recommend the school to others. Thanks for all the enthusiasm and hard work put into making the sessions interesting, engaging and useful.

- Anonymous student, Summer 2022

I would highly recommend the school. Marine is an amazing teacher! Thank you. The lessons flowed together so well.

- Lizzi, 2022

The course has provided a great springboard to start our journey through learning French. Day 1 was challending and Elise tailored the lessons to match our abilities very well. A great mix of lessons and tasks in an environment that suited my mindset and the way I learn. I certainly did not enjoy learning French like this EVER before. Thanks to you all!
