Testimonies

I had never taken full immersion classes but now I understand why they are so effective. I have learned more in 2 weeks than I believe I could have in a month of private language classes in the states or a semester of college courses.

Melanie Shaw - Canada

A great program in a beautiful city. Edu Inter has inspired me to continue my French language studies.

Harold Koehler - Germany

I though the course was great. I have not studied French in 20 years and Edu-inter figured out where I belonged. Class was very fun. I brought my daughter and we had a family vacation while improving our French. I would definitely do it again.
