Case Study
Andrew Molineaux
5 Day Intensive French Course


Andrew joined the tutors in Biarritz whilst between jobs. He wanted to improve his upper intermediate level French to achieve more fluency and practice in an immersed learning environment—all in preparation for a new job.

Each of the 5 full days took the following structure:

Cafe & Croissants (90 mins)
Breakfast at a cafe in town with the daily French papers. Focused on improving conversation and pronounciation, improving discussion and articulation of ideas and thoughts.

Morning Private Lesson (2.5hours)
One to One Lesson focused on improving Andrew's General French needs. A large part worked on Andrew's tenses, conjugasions and grammer through a range of activities, exercises and games. The lessons were hosted at different locations in Biarritz ( this included the mediateque, the Casino and a private terrace overlooking the beach)

Lunch
Andrew was left on his own devices to explore, shop, relax and immerse himself in the town life.

Afternoon Activity. (2 hours)
Surf, pelote basque or tennis with a French Tutor. Coordinated with his learning the emphasis was on conversing and continuing to learn whilst having fun !

Early Evening Private Lesson (2.5 hours)
One to One Lesson themed around a business need of Andrew's—meetings, negotiating, presenting etc

Dinner & Evening Activity
Each of the 4 nights an evening activity was arranged from a choice to suit all budgets. Andrew requested
  • Armagnac tasting and Group meal at Domaine de Lassabatju, Hontanx
  • Host Dinner with a family in Biarritz
  • Cinema (version francaise)
  • Evening Musuem visit & drinks at the Roxy Jam (surf festival)






Feedback from Andrew

"The range of activities each day was a big plus. Even though I was working hard (and it was tiring) I felt like I was having fun. The emphasis on different locations to host the private lessons kept things fresh and really added to the immersion factor. I also really liked the visit to the Armagnac Domaine. To tour the estate and taste a range of local products was both really interesting and good for my French !"

"Lastly the focus on my needs meant I improved vastly over the 5 days in both the spoken and written French that I needed."

"I now work in Geneva every month with my new role. This course really helped my confidence and ability to be interviewed in
French to get the job."

Many thanks.
Andrew
