I have just spent a very happy week at the Ludo School and I am sure my French has benefited greatly.

It was with a certain amount of trepidation that I approached my one to one lessons with Mdm. Bouriez but I need not have worried. She was very patient and did not allow the pressure to get too great. She stressed whenever it got too much I could just raise my hands and say 'help' but fortunately this was not necessary.

I will definitely return to continue my progress and would like to offer my most sincere thanks.

Merci bien pour une semaine très agréable.

I’m so glad you are reading this!

I come from San Francisco where there is an excellent and famous restaurant with a pink neon sign that reads: GET IN HERE!

I would love to put this sign above the door of Ludo Expression.

My husband and I live in France part time and over the years we’ve taken a wide variety of French lessons. Ludo Expression has been the best ever.

The classes are casual yet structured and our teacher’s explanations of this complex language are consistently clear and patient. And, we had fun!

Our ability to read, converse and comprehend has improved and so has our confidence. Plus, the school is situated in an area rich in historical and natural attractions. What could be better?

We recommend this school to all our friends, so GET IN HERE!

Sincerely,
Will FURTH and Jennifer JONES

I have just finished a month-long, intensive course in Intermediate French at Ludo Expression and found it more valuable than any other language course I've taken.

Because the classes are small, Madam Bouriez was able to tailor the program to our needs.  Emphasis is given to conversation and to learning current French words and expressions so that comprehension is increased.  The classes are fun, fast-paced and use a variety of media and learning sources.

If you're serious about wanting to learn French, I highly recommend this course.

This is an excellent way to improve/learn French as it is spoken and the grammar reinforces that learning. Classes with Dominique are interesting, fun and informative and have given me confidence to use my French.

Thank you again for your incredible kindness to me in picking me up for my lessons from the bus stop in the next village as I stupidly had not appreciated the bus did not go as far as your village (although I knew the God would provide and He did).  And for taking me back again after each lesson-and once taking me back to Carcassonne where I was staying.  Also for being concerned about me when my bus broke down and coming out to find me!

I so enjoyed my lessons.  Dominique was very patient, interesting, kind and friendly with a great sense of humour.  I have recommended her to the friends I was staying with to pass her details on to anyone they know who would like lessons.  I certainly would have no hesitation in recommneding you and will be in touch when I come back.

We (a South African/New Zealand couple) recently completed a 2-week semi-intensive course at Ludo Expression. Dominique is a fantastic (and entertaining!) teacher and her teaching method is fun with focus on conversational French, grammar and general understanding. The classes are small and are effectively tailored to the level of the class participants.

As evidence we have just returned from 4 days away with our French neighbours and after only 2 weeks classes we were able to communicate in French the whole time which was great! We will definitely be back for another round and recommend it enthusiastically.

Merci beaucoup!

THIS CLASS IS AWESOME!!! 

I came to France, not being able to speak any French. After a month without classes I began to understand a little of the conversations around me. Then, I took a 4 week intensive course at Ludo Expression and after the first few days much to my surprise, I began to speak French! 

I felt so happy and confident, and Dominique always made me feel comfortable even when it took me an hour to tell a short story. She is super patient, and the classes were small enough that I felt like I got a lot of attention. 

They say that when you learn a language, that the humor is the last part you understand, but I laughed a lot in Dominique's class, she made it really fun. I even learned to tell jokes in French. 

I looked forward to going to classes everyday, and by the last week the language began to come out of my mouth seamlessly. I would've gladly signed up for another 4 weeks if I could have.

Merci du fond de mon coeur!

I went to Ludo Expression for a week of intensive French:  3 hours in a small group in the morning, 2 hours private lessons in the afternoon, and living with a French family.  My goal was to “refresh” my use of French.   I had studied and used French in my 20's and 30'.  But I am now almost 60, and I was afraid that I had lost my ability to understand and speak French.  After five days at Ludo Expression, I did remember what I had learned, and I was able to communicate again in French.

Dominique, my teacher, was enthusiastic and playful.  She created a relaxed atmosphere where I felt comfortable speaking, even though I made many mistakes or couldn't find the words I wanted to use.  The lessons were based on what we needed and wanted.  Sometimes we had very lively discussions, sometimes we had grammar lessons, and sometimes we did exercises.   But the material was always appropriate, useful and interesting.   The time went very quickly.

The town where Ludo Expression is located, Villegailhenc, is a quiet village.  Each day, I took a walk in the fields and hills next to the village.  I found that a great way to relax from the intensity of learning French.

I was really satisfied with Ludo Expression, and I would recommend it to others looking for an intensive French course in the south of France.

Yo estaba interesada en practicar el francés oral y encontré en internet la site  ( ludoexpression.com ).

La atención recibida  desde el primer momento por Dominique Bourier, a través de correo electrónico, me decidió a contratar la estancia de UN MES en Francia (Villegailhenc) para acudir a su escuela. Las clases impartidas por la mañana, me permitían disfrutar de unas vacaciones pues tenía la posibilidad de visitar el territorio de L'Aude cada tarde, o simplemente vivir  la tranquilidad del lugar.

La experiencia ha sido totalmente positiva, no solo he podido practicar el oral en su escuela, sino que me ha aclarado conceptos que no tenía claros sobre el empleo del idioma, es decir, me ha enseñado a "pensar en francés", algo difícil pero necesario para la inmersión en otra lengua.

Espero que mi experiencia os ayude a decidiros por esta escuela, por su atención personal, lejos de la masificación de otras escuelas, por su estricto interés en enseñar, bañado siempre de una comprensión y calidez en el trato, y reiterar a Dominique, ahora desde Barcelona, mis más sincera felicitación y amistad.
