STUDENT FEEDBACK

"I just finished my two week course at Tours.

I would highly recommend the school and the location to all adults during the off season. Regular students during the summer. The location is very good and being in the old city was a two minute walk from the square where everyone meets.

I would add Tours to your list of good locations for adults on your Web site since there is so much to see around Tours and it's pretty easy to get around. The family was also very nice."
Scott M.

"The school, is phenomenal.

The faculty is well organized, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. They take a genuine interest in their profession. The testing on the first day placed me into the perfect class, with a great professor. I learned a lot, and made some true friends.

Services provided by Languages Abroad, very comprehensive. Everything was straightforward, and explained in detail, which is why I chose this program over others I had researched on the internet. Staff was always available to answer my questions when I called.

Future Advice: Do it! As long as you are prepared, and follow the instructions, you will have a memorable experience - If anything is not to your liking, someone will help you out."
