The CLA is a real melting pot! Interns from the 5 continents come to learn the French language or develop.

The CLA enjoys an excellent reputation, because the emphasis is on communication. Many foreign students are stock-brokers, sent by their country of origin to the CLA because it has an important visibility in the French cultural centre. I make the mistake trust these labels of all kinds and recommended for a close relation of being listed there follow French courses here. The quotation was savoury, but I thought it was to be the price for classes of quality. To change the my friend and i were surprised poor quality of the course of FLE given to the CLA. For me, I educational closely followed the work of my friend to daily life. So I would note that the same card of exercises was given by 3 different teachers to three different levels, leaving think it holds NO in-house meet there to decide content to spread on different levels. Moreover early session (for the crash courses. about €800/month) no precise schedule of objectives was delivered to the participants. On the other hand a manuel (Alter Ego systematically was set to learning, but (very) rarely used by teachers (see large contract with the publisher, to be equipped with manuals, which then you can not help you). Many hours spent in computer room, to do it out on line of the site A World, that could as well make at home. In short, deplorable experience. Do not give your money to the CLA. What she loved: What it did not like: The internal organisation poor: For example, the same card of exercises was given by 3 different teachers to three different levels, leaving think it holds no in-house meet there to decide content to spread on different levels. Just at the beginning of the month (for the crash courses. about €800/month) no precise schedule of objectives was delivered to the participants. In the course of the year, my friend began to take lessons in a residents' association, given by volunteers. It almost free and was organised better. But of course, a combination of this type of does not deliver official certificates served for inscriptions for the university and the OFII... In short, do not give your money to the CLA.
