ACCORD Tour Eiffel

Fantastic premises in a "boutique" school near the Eiffel Tower, with air conditioning in all the classrooms, great teachers and very helpful and friendly staff, and the PM2 intensive afternoon course was really great ! This PM2 course of 20h/week combines 5 afternoon lessons + one hour coaching per day, which means the course is well structured. The 5 afternoon lessons include 3 afternoon classes dedicated to ‘Written French & Grammar’ and 2 afternoon classes dedicated to ‘Oral Communication/ French Culture and Civilisation’. During that course we were invited to practise our French through the use of authentic material (newspapers of the day, for example) and to learn related idiomatic expressions in various contexts. During the 2 oral communication classes the emphasis is on improving confidence in speaking and listening in French in a range of everyday situations. Subjects covered in class include topical vocabulary and language, study of grammatical structures, pronunciation and listening skills, social skills, cultural awareness, reading and writing skills, conversational French. The course allowed me to enjoy Paris during each morning and each evening, after the coaching hour. A GREAT experience !
