Mission courses

Aujourd’hui, nous avons fait des courses. Emmanuelle, notre professeur, nous a donné une liste d’articles pour acheter. Notre premier arrêt était Carrefour City, l’épicerie. Nous avons cherché des œufs, du chocolat à pâtisserie, du beurre, du sucre en poudre et des œufs de Pâques en chocolat. Pour quelques raisons, nous avons aussi acheté deux barres au chocolat supplémentaires !

                Après l’épicerie, nous sommes allés au marché. Là, nous avons acheté deux bananes, une botte de radis, un concombre et une barquette de fraises mais nous sommes allés chez trois marchands différents.

                Après le marché, nous sommes allés dans une boulangerie aux Halles. Là, notre dernier achat était une baguette tradition. Finalement, notre mission était complète et nous sommes retournés à l’école.

Amazing French School!

I had the opportunity to attend CLE for a period of 4 months and, I must say, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Not only are the classes engaging and intellectually stimulating, the school makes a real effort to organize a number of extra-curricular events around the Tours area.

In a classroom of 7 (or less) persons, each student has the opportunity to learn French in a friendly and constructive environment. All of the professors are extremely helpful and want to ensure that each student obtains the highest level of French desired. Each day of instruction involves a number of exercises that focuses on at least one of the four different areas of language learning (i.e. Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking.) Not only are these exercises extremely effective, they are also really fun and mimic real-life situations that students will most-likely find themselves in.

Besides the coursework itself, you can find a diverse mixture of students from all over the world at CLE. The school embraces this multicultural environment which creates interesting cultural discussions (in French, of course) between the students.

Overall, I cannot begin to recommend CLE enough. Not only is Tours the home of the "purest" French, it is also the home of the best French language school in France!
