I would like to thank you sincerely for making the French classes fun and a very memorable experience.
I do not remember I ever felt so happy when going to school. I will remember my morning walks through the quiet and sunlit Morzine, and over the bridge, to the school, looking forward diving into the French (not from the bridge) with the other keen students.
Thank you, Laure, for keeping everything well organised, being there, always helping. And, we loved the cheese and wine tour!
Thank you, Aurélie, for helping with all the questions popping up in my head. I now feel confident to use French with any (reasonably patient) native speaker and use le Subjonctif!
It was great to be at your school, meet the like-minded people and be a student again. I’d need to come back!

- Sergey Gorobets

I found my course challenging, extremely interesting and very enjoyable. Our teacher Marlene was responsive, encouraging and attentive and challenged us to broaden and increase our vocabulary and use of grammar. She mixed more formal uses of French with useful colloquialisms. In short I learnt a huge amount, increased my confidence levels and can’t wait to come back for more!

- Rachel Cunliffe

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality for the last two weeks.

I enjoyed my study and stay, and already recommended your school to at least 20 people by now!

I would love to come back to take more lessons whenever I have a week-long holiday.

Attached please find photos of Friday.

I don’t know e-mail addresses of instructors, and grateful if you could share them with your team.

Super instructors gave me great courage to continue studying.

Look forward to seeing you again soon!

- Yoko Owatari

I just wanted to thank yourself and the Alpine French School team for an amazing week in Morzine. My experience has been positive throughout, from the initial booking and logistics communications, to the classes themselves.

The admin team were quick to respond to any queries I had, and provided very detailed information on all aspects of the booking, all with a friendly smile. I would like to share my appreciation for the teaching style; challenging grammar lessons and engaging oral/written sessions, unparalleled to language lessons I have taken at university.

I am very impressed with the school and would definitely recommend it to others looking to combine language lessons and activity holidays of this kind.
