“I
was a complete novice. Yet learning French in the foothills of the Pyrénées
with Dominique has been an absolute pleasure. She combines her experience
and expertise with great patience and humour.”
Jill Tampin

“So
you’ve tried brushing up your schoolboy French, tried evening classes,
tried ‘teach yourself’ books and CD’s? Now go for the
one that works. A fortnight with Dominique brings it all back and much,
much more. Read, listen (and understand!) and speak French just like they
do using her excellent Sorbonne method. An added bonus was the recently
(and tastefully) renovated gîte that I stayed at just round the
corner from the classroom. C’est superbe.”

“Dear Dominique, I had great time and enjoyed meeting you. I am planning to continue my study. Thanks for the inspirational start. Your lessons are unique, fun and challenging. I was able to make the leap to attempting to converse in French. The whole country seems to be willing to help me learn the language.”

“Grâce à votre gentillesse et votre méthode agréable pour l’enseignement aux étrangers j’ai surmonté ma peur (de faire des fautes) et bien appris à communiquer en français. Merci beaucoup!”

“In the autumn of 2004 I completed the two-week Intermediate Level course with Dominique. The textbooks for the course (one for grammar and one for vocabulary) are very good indeed, and this means that only limited notes need to be taken during the teaching sessions. The thing that makes the course so valuable, however, is the person who runs it. You will find that Dominique is an exceptionally skilful teacher….How many teachers can sense when you need to be pushed a little faster, when you need a few moments for reflection, or when you need to lighten-up with a bit of a laugh? Dominique is capable of doing all these things. On top of that, she obviously knows an awful lot about every aspect of contemporary French language, so she is teaching you how to speak ‘real’ French rather than phrase-book or CD French.”

“Chère Dominique, Nous voudrions vous remercier pour toue l’aide que vous nous avez donné la semaine dernière. Nous avons vraiment aimé tous les cours de français. Nous savons que pendant ce temps nous avons appris beaucoup de français parce qu’ apprendre le français avec vous était très agréable.”

“I would like to thank you for such a wonderful week. I really enjoyed our discussions and the classes we had. The family were really fantastic and could not have been more hospitable.”

“J’ai eu le bonheur de rencontrer Dominique qui, diplômée de la Sorbonne, a trente ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement et j’ai fait beaucoup, beaucoup de progrès en français! Non seulement les cours en classe, il y a l’occasion d’échanger avec les villageois, d’apprendre les plats spéciaux de la region avec dégustation etc; le français vous retient tout naturellement. Je voudrais vous inviter à venir étudier dans un site magnifique des Pyrénées.”
