For intermediate : Improving knowledge and understanding of the language flexible approach revolving around the development of oral and written expression. The student is able to reinforce his/her knowledge of the language and to develop a more extensive vocabulary and an improved grammatical knowledge. All work will focus on comprehension and speaking / writing skills. Knowledge of the language in all areas (grammar, syntax and vocabulary) will be improved through a variety of methods, including discussion sessions, studying films, analysing press articles and reading and discussing contemporary literature.
For advanced : In-depth development of language skills students who already have a good knowledge and understanding of the French language will be able to expand their skills through precise study of specific points of grammar, syntax, and more complex vocabulary. This will enable the development of a higher standard of oral and written language skills. For those who already have an excellent working knowledge of French, classes will concentrate on more creative aspects of the language, enabling the student to explore his/her abilities through creative writing workshops, public speaking workshops and other such activities. Teaching will concentrate on oral skills. However, reading, writing and grammar will not be neglected, rather interwoven within the lesson for a streamlined learning process. Our classes offer the study of a great range of cultural topics and contemporary issues, and always take students’ personal interests into consideration for more stimulating discussion...

I loved the course with my French teacher, Renee! She was very personable, so I really enjoyed everyday learning from her. She pointed out my weak points ( articles and pronouns ) which I have been already aware of. I learned SOOO much about those points that I really needed to refresh on. I would love to go back to Tahiti again to learn from her!

Turns out I was the only beginner so my lessons were all private though I did get to meet other students at social events arranged by our teacher.
The Tahitian people are truly lovely and the ability to easily visit Moorea was great. At the end of s hook I also visited Bora Bira so there was plenty of opportunity to try out my new language skills. Plus Bora Bora is beautiful.
School is fine, the director, Renée is very kind.
