« La escuela es bastante simpatica, hay un entorno joven y esta bastante céntrica. Hay alumnos de todos los paises, lo que te permite a la vez de estudiar francés conocer costumbres diferentes. El horario es super flexible y las clases son divertidas a la vez que completas. »

If you’re looking to learn French, you’ve come to the right place! I recommend you my school. It’s ‘l’Institut Destination Langues’, in the centre of Marseille. It’s really easy to get there- you can take the metro or the bus. Our school is really nice. The classrooms have tables, chairs, a whiteboard, a TV, a DVD player… everything you need, in a nutshell. There is a ‘coffee break’ room with a coffee machine, tea, herbal teas, some tables and chairs.

Ici, on parle français plus facilement !

Oui, ici, chaque jour, il y a un cours pour vous !

I study French at Institut Destination Langues (IDL). There are students of many nationalities. The teachers are very good. The classes are organised according to the level of French of the students. There are classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. Some students are learning French to study at university or to work in France, and others to teach French in their home country. As for me, I’m learning French to do a master’s in geophysics at the University of Marseille 3. I started French lessons on the 5th of January 2009. I’m going to start my master’s in September.

Si tu décides d’apprendre le français, je te conseille de venir à Marseille ! Parce qu‘ il y a beaucoup de plages et du soleil, mais il vaut mieux que tu mettes la crème de soleil avant d’aller à la plage !!! Je te conseille d’apprendre la langue à l’école qui s’appelle « Institut Destination Langues ». Tu peux aussi visiter Notre-dame-de-la-Garde, mais je te déconseille de boire trop de pastis ! Il faut que tu fasses attention, je te déconseille de sortir très tard le soir ! Il vaut mieux que tu trouves des amis à Marseille, et l’école est très bien pour ça !

Before arriving in Marseille, ask for information about the different types of classes offered by “L’Institut Destination Langues”, the prices, the timetable etc. I advise you to learn French in this school. The teachers teach different levels of French. When you start classes just bring a dictionary, a notebook and a pen! When you live here, go around the city to get to know it well; the streets, the addresses of cinemas, shops etc. Go for walks in Marseille, take the bus to go to the different beaches that there are here. It’s very pretty! Be very nice with your friends as they can help you out. Warning! Very important: bring in a traditional dish from your country from time to time!!!
