Ludo Expression : Learn French in the south of France, in Carcassonne

We’re a small school with one or two teachers (depending on demand), which allows us to adopt a personal and tailored approach with our students.

Our teaching takes place in very small groups (the average size is four and the maximum is six), and in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This allows us to:

• give each student time to talk and apply their new French, and the chance to participate as much as possible.
• ensure that students feel relaxed and quickly build self-confidence in the subject, as this is critical to learning.
• adapt quickly and effectively to the specific needs of each student.

Our students are mostly adults ranging in age from 25 to 75, with an average age of around 45-50. We cater to students, graduates, mature students and retirees alike, and find they all have one thing in common: they are motivated and love to learn. Thoughtfulness, confidence and good humour are at the heart of our teaching.

We favour the development of everyday French, with a focus on oral expression and comprehension. This is supported with a progressive foundation of grammar, and we employ a variety of teaching methods to ensure our students will be able to use their language skills in a range of environments. Our activities include structured speaking, traditional grammar exercises on the whiteboard (some things were built to last!), role plays, use of recorded exercises and video, and even homework for those who want more!
