I was extremely satisfied with LSF in Montpellier. I have done intensive language study before in Vienna, Mexico, and Germany, and I was an English teacher to adults in Frankfurt and Madrid for 2 years. So I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes a good language program -- and how hard it can be to administer. For these reasons, I'm especially impressed by LSF.

So I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes a good language program -- and how hard it can be to administer. For these reasons, I'm especially impressed by LSF.

I did quite a bit of research to find the right school in Montpellier. LSF had the highest online ratings, which was a good start. The staff was very helpful in the registration process (Thank you, Karen and Yenifer). I think they did a great job of assessing which level I should be at (which is very important!) And when I had a health issue, and could not start the in-person class, they made available to me their online e-learning platform, which was fun, interesting, academically rigorous, and truly helped me learn a lot of French extremely quickly. The platform addressed grammar, vocabulary, but also listening and writing exercises which were reviewed by one of their excellent professors (Professeur Azadée). It was a fun, relevant way to familiarize myself with modern day French culture.

My in-person class with Professeur Mégane was outstanding, too. She did a tremendous job of making the material enjoyable, while we also learned the important grammar and vocabulary through a lot of discussion, as well as reading and writing exercises. Even though people in the class ranged in age from 15 to 58 (me!), we were all able to enjoy each other's unique perspectives and experiences -- all "en français."

The school's building is beautiful, and the location is in the heart of the fun of Montpellier. I know that LSF offers a huge variety of fun trips and excursions, though I did not tend to take part in those. Montpellier has a glorious variety of outstanding restaurants for any budget.

I plan on returning to LSF next year, to continue my French studies. I'm looking forward to having my wife take classes for beginners, while I continue with my intermediate level. In the meantime, I have a lot of excellent study materials to keep me progressing in French.
Merci pour cette belle expérience, LSF !

The school and classes had really fun activities as well, the content was always very interesting and the size of the classes were just right in my opinion. They have different class locations in Montpellier (all within 5-10 min walking distance from each other) which I personally enjoyed bc it was a nice change of scenery every week. The city itself is beautiful - large enough to always find something to do but small enough to find your own favourite spots and establish a routine where it slowly starts feeling like “home.”

If you decide to take any language course, I HIGHLY recommend staying with a host family. I was really lucky with mine - they cooked traditional french meals and we had conversations about politics, food, and the differences between our cultures even with the little french I had to begin with. They also give me some tips about where to go in the city which were extremely helpful. Since coming back home, I’ve tried implementing some french meals and habits into my daily routine (that I thought were really cool) which I wouldn’t have learned if I had not stayed with a host family.

After 1 month my french and confidence in speaking french improved tremendously (A1 to A2) and after returning home, I tried to continue my french learning by watching shows, listening to podcasts etc., even deciding to enroll in another language school in my city where I took a level assessment through a phone call and learned that I’m now at B1! Seriously one of the best experiences of my life and I highly recommend :) Thank you LSF!!

The schedule of activities was varied and allowed students to discover new areas in Montpellier and take part in a variety of activities. (I absolutely loved the watercolor workshop)
Overall I fell in love with Montpellier and wish I had booked in for longer. I hope to come back again soon! 🇫🇷

The 30 minute lunch period between the standard and intensive course is tricky, but otherwise I’m a major fan!

I went to Montpelier to take a French intensive, but this wasn’t the first school I learned about … I am SO thankful that this is the school I ended up at. Every part of this school shines — the teachers (i.e. Claire B.), the administration, the activities they organize, the facilities; and the location! 5 stars without hesitation.
