Learning a language was never so interesting

Learning a language is never more interesting than when one learns on-location. The ESL or Ecole Suisse de Langues schools help participants from all over the world get up-to-speed in the French and Swiss languages. The schools are located at vantage points in France and Switzerland, and designed to make learning fun, easy and challenging, so that students are motivated to make faster progress.

The school holds 3 types of courses. Courses designed for adults (16 years and above) are held at Montreux in French-speaking Switzerland and at Lyons in France. Along with the other courses, the French courses Lyon is attracting more and more students from around the world.

For teens and juniors, the school holds language summer camps French, Italian, German and English at various locations in Switzerland and France as well as in Westerwald, Germany. Since participants are young, the students are discreetly supervised in accordance with their age.
