Student Testimonials

I attended a three-week French language course (level A1) at the LSF Montpellier. The language school is very centrally located, very well equipped and the quality of the teaching is very high. I can fully recommend the language school!

Truly great experience all around. Had the opportunity to learn from some really incredible professors over the past year. If you have the opportunity to come and see this beautiful city and learn this beautiful language you will not be disappointed with Lsf. <3

I really enjoy the school, the town, the lessons and the team. If you really want to learn French it is the best place you can found . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks a lot for this wonderful experience and now i can talk French 😎😉

The administration and teachers are all delightful. The courses provide an incredible foundation. Although I had technically studied French for several years before matriculating here, my grasp of the language improved tenfold in a month. Merci pour votre aide, IEF!

I can't describe my stay at LSF in words! It was truly an amazing experience. My professors were dedicated and they had passion for teaching. The low number of students created a nice atmosphere and I aways felt like I could talk about my problems if I had any. Also It gave me the chance to get to know the other students from all around the world. The activities organized for us were so great, especially the visit to St. Guilhem and the wine and cheese tasting. I recommend LSF for everybody who want's to get to know France and French culture and also to improve their language skills. Thanks for the great time LSF 🙂
