A great experience

I am a recently retired teacher, and I would like to take this chance to really encourage those of you who are approaching or are in this phase of your life to take a risk, go to a new place, and learn a new language. And if you decide to do this, I can't recommend any other place than CLE in Tours. What a great adventure I had this past September! CLE is an excellent school no matter whether you are just starting out in French, or if you have already studied it at home. I was pleased that their test on the first day put me into just the right group to improve my French without impossible challenges. the instructors spoke only in French, but always found a way to explain things if you didn't understand. ( For me, that was often). I stayed with a wonderful family who made me feel at home, and added to my immersion experience by only speaking French and taking me and another student to various sites in the area. Oh, did I rave yet about the sites? Tours and the Loire Valley are lovely; I rented a bicycle for my 3 week stay there, and enjoyed the beautiful cycling paths along the river. I also was really thrilled with the efforts that the other students made to communicate only in French; even when there was another student in my class from the same city as me in Canada, we only spoke in French. Over the 3 weeks my confidence grew, and I learned to relax and not worry about making mistakes. I started to learn French the way a child does, with an attitude of fun. Learning French in Tours at CLE was a very rewarding experience, that left me saying, " Yahoo! I may be retired from teaching, but I'm sure not retired from life!" I really encourage you to treat yourself, and spend at least a few weeks at CLE in Tours. You'll never regret it; I know I sure don't.

The best language school I've attended ..

I have been to CLE twice this year, and can thoroughly recommend it. The classes are small (there were no more than 6 in any of my classes), the teachers are enthusiastic and very helpful, the lessons are well-structured, the class materials are excellent. There are a lot of additional study materials, and information about the area, with advice on trips you can make etc. Unfortunately (due to family commitments) I was only able to stay for a week each time; two weeks (or longer!) would allow time to make use of the library and explore Tours and the Loire châteaux. I stayed in the home of a very friendly woman, and on each of my visits was able to immerse myself in the French language, speaking hardly any English. I am looking forward to my next visit.

NO WHERE BETTER THAN CLE IN TOURS

It was a lovely day in August. Seven young and not-so-young men and women decided to go out for lunch together. We found a café with a large table and ordered lunch. Then I realized that no two people at our table were from the same country: the United States, Canada, England, Wales, Switzerland, Holland and Belorussia were all represented. But we all spoke the same language. And what was that? French! Some of us spoke it well, most not so well. We all made mistakes. But no matter. We communicated in our one shared language….our lingua franca…French. And we all loved every minute of it. In love with France, in love with the language.

Such was our life as students of the CLÉ (Centre Linguistique Pour Étrangers) in Tours in the Loire Valley. Tourists know the Loire Valley as The Chateau Country. Language students know it as the place in France where the purest French is spoken. Most of us were housed with local French families, as arranged for us by CLÉ. We had breakfast and dinner provided by our “famille d’accueil”. I was really lucky in my lodgings. It was the household of Françoise, a retired lady who had been a college professor of English. In my two weeks with her, I never heard her speak a word of English although obviously she knew it well. She was totally committed to my total immersion experience, to providing me with good French cooking twice a day, to providing good French conversation, to driving me from her home in the countryside to school every morning and home every afternoon. Most students were housed with families in the town, but Francoise lives in the country outside of town, and I soon found I preferred her home with its lovely garden, singing birds, and country quiet.

Françoise, guided me around Tours, a small city that I grew to love. After dinner, and after I had completed “mes devoirs” for the next day, sometimes Françoise, and I watched le télé together. She chose programs of historic import, designed to broaden my experience. She also escorted another resident student and me to some wine caves of the wonderful Vouvray white wines nearby.

The school (under the direction of Hervé and Isabelle Aubert) was constantly challenging. During our first morning, we were given a 2 hour exam designed to evaluate our level of French. I must confess it was simply the toughest exam I have ever taken! The following morning, we were given our class assignments. Within the first hour I was convinced a terrible mistake had been made. Clearly I was in the wrong class! There was no way I could keep up the pace or maintain the level of comprehension of my classmates. Happily I survived the challenge and by the end of my two weeks there, I knew that my French had definitely improved.

Classes at CLÉ are small with a class size limit of 7 students. The first week, there were 6 of us in my class: 3 Americans, an Englishman who lived in Prague, a German-speaking Swiss and a young woman from Saudi Arabia. This last was enrolled at CLÉ for a year, after which she was going on to a Paris University for her graduate degree. So much for the “repressed” Middle Eastern woman! The second week there were 4 in my class. And our excellent teacher, (our “Prof”) Melanie, made sure that we were all participating fully.

Our curriculum was ever varied and challenging. There were four skills we were expected to address (and perhaps one day master)…oral comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. We had a healthy dose of grammar and vocabulary building along the way. Not only did we study the passé simple, we were asked to write stories actually using the tense (which I had so assiduously avoided for many years.) Through it all I remained convinced that I was the class dunce, and that I would never get much better. But I did get better. By the end of 2 weeks, I was much more comfortable in the language. I had no fear of going off on my own around the town and to nearby Amboise. I still made lots of mistakes, (and still do) but I was able to understand and make myself understood at a new level. At no time did anyone try to converse with me in English. In fact, I was asked directions in French on three separate occasions.


When the day came to leave, I was sincerely sorry that I had booked for a mere two weeks. I tried to devise a way to stay longer, to learn more, to experience more. (Some students enroll for several weeks, even months). Were it not for medical necessity (and the sure knowledge that my money would run out sooner rather than later) I might be there still. I certainly have every intention of returning. Part of my heart resides in the Loire Valley, one of the loveliest and friendliest regions of France. France…and doubtless always will. I recommend total immersion in France for anyone wanting to speak better French. And no where is better than CLÉ in Tours!

dobrá zkušenost!

Tours je výhodné místo pro studium francouzštiny a poznávání Francie a škola CLE připravuje pro studenty veškerý možný servis, např. kromě knih a studijních materiálů jsou v knihovně školy různé materiály (cyklomapy, prospekty), které pomůžou využít volný čas k poznávání nádherného okolí - stačí zmínit nádherné zámky na Loiře, kterých jsou desítky a k mnoha z nich lze dojet na kole. Přijetí na škole bylo velmi vstřícné, skupiny jsou malé a studenti vhodně rozřazeni podle své pokročilosti. Školu můžu doporučit.

une expérience linguistique merveilleuse

je suis un étudiant des émirats arabes unis , j'apprends le français pour suivre des cours magistraux a la Sorbonne, donc , grâce a clé ( institut de langue a Tours ) j'ai réussi le l'examen de DALF C1

Cet institut est excellent pour plusieurs raisons :

1- l'administration: Madame et Monsieur Aubert sont très professionnels , ils s'occupent des étudiants du premier jours quand ils arrivent avec leurs valises en passant par les famille d'accueil et jusqu'au jour de départ quenq ils prennent le taxi.En plus ils prennent les requêtes des étudiant en pleine considération. Bref pour tous les apprenants et moi personnellement Madame et Monsieur Aubert étaient comme les parents au point qu'ils nous accompagnent dans les excusions organisee par l'ecole également .

2-l'École: d'une part , les professeurs sont très compétents ils nous enseignent d'une façon très agréable et efficace a la foi , ils connaissent bien la culture française ( habitude, gastronomie , histoire , polit que ....etc ).D'autre part l'atmosphère familiale de l'École est agréable , dans chaque classe il y a au moyen 5 étudiants ou chaque étudiant profite bien de sa participation dans ce bain linguistique . En outre tous le monde se connaît donc , l'amitié entre les apprenants et les professeurs et patente

3- la ville : Tours est une ville parfaite pour apprendre le francais car, d'un cote les gens y parlent sans accent ( le francais est pur ). D'autre cote c'est une ville de culture qui s'appelle le jardin de France grâce a sa beauté naturelle. On y trouve de magnifiques châteaux a visiter ( donc les rois avaient raison de choisir cette ville ) qui est entouree par la Loire et le cher ( deux fleuves de la région )


Finalement, je voudrais dire que j'ai de la chance d'être étudiant dans cette école car j'ai atteint mon but académique , professionnel vis-à-vis mon niveau linguistique, et en plus c'etait avec plaisir :)

Non solo formaggio e vino.

Questa estate (2011) ho deciso di seguire un corso di lingua francese alla scuola CLE e ne sono rimasta piuttosto soddisfatta.
L'edificio è attrezzato con numerose aule dove si svolgono le lezioni in classi di massimo 7 persone. C'è anche la possibilità di prendere in prestito dei dvd dalla videoteca e dei libri dalla biblioteca. I più motivati possono cimentarsi nei giochi di società messi a disposizione (con tabù si possono passare delle ore!). Ho apprezzato molto il fatto che si potessero trovare diverse riviste interessanti da consultare (Courrier international) all'entrata della scuola.
Gli insegnanti sono molto disponibili e le lezioni interessanti. C'è da dire, però, che molto dipende dalle persone che compongono la classe e dall'insegnante stesso. Fortunatamente, la mia classe era piuttosto dinamica e i dibattiti si rivelavano sempre molto accesi!
La famiglia che mi ha accolta è molto disponibile e fin dal primo giorno si è sempre accertata che tutto andasse bene.
La città di Tours è perfetta per un soggiorno studio perché non è troppo dispersiva ma neanche troppo piccola. Ci sono numerose cose da fare e vedere e, in estate, lungo la Loira allestiscono un bar all'aperto chiamato la Guinguette dove l'atmosfera è molto allegra (forse grazie al gustosissimo rosé).
Nei dintorni di Tours, le cose da fare non mancano di certo. Con il gruppo di amici incontrati a scuola, abbiamo organizzato diverse "gite fuori porta" di un giorno usando il treno o la bicicletta. Tutto facilmente raggiungibile ed utilizzabile...e non troppo costoso!

Я ездил в школу CLE

Я провёл в школе CLE полтора месяца и невероятно доволен качеством обучения и проведённого времени в городе Тур.
Городок небольшой и очень доброжелательный, как раз то что нужно, чтобы изучать французский язык. На поездах можно доехать до всех замков Луары, а можно ещё и на океан в город Ля Рошель, который я ОЧЕНЬ рекомендую.
В школе CLE замечательные преподаватели и уроки проходят очень весело и интересно. Часто уроки проходят в игровой форме и в процессе возникают многочисленные диалоги на французском.
Жить я советую в семье. Для вас это отличный шанс посмотреть как живут настоящие французские семьи и наслаждаться французской домашней кухней каждый день. В семьях Вам предоставляется уникальная возможность общения с французами. Цените каждый разговор с самого Вашего приезда в Тур.

3 fantastic weeks

I've just spent 3 fantastic weeks with CLE in Tours, France. In those 3 weeks I have learned so much and gained much confidence when speaking french. My teacher was great using many different activities to improve vocabulary etc. During my stay at Tours I stayed with a host family who was so nice and kind helping me in every way they could to make most out of my stay. In the surrondings of the school there are plenty of sights to enjoy and with trains and buses it is easy to get around. I will recommend everyone who wish to learn french to visit CLE!

Il mio soggiorno a CLE - Tours

Il mio soggiorno a Tours è durato 4 settimane ed è stato indimenticabile !
è difficile esprimere a parole e in poche righe la mia esperienza e le emozioni di questo mese, ma vale la pena provarci.
Sono stata molto fortunata da ogni punto di vista. La mia famiglia era gentilissima e divertente : la sera c’era sempre l’occasione di parlare insieme, ho conosciuto qualche parente della famiglia e anche qualche amico/a e spesso siamo usciti insieme, ed è stato stupendo non solo perchè ho avuto la possibilità di ascoltare modi diversi di parlare, ma soprattutto perchè è nata una bella amicizia con tutte le persone che ho incontrato e spero che durerà !!
Insomma, in famiglia mi sentivo come a casa !
Nella mia stessa casa c’era anche una studentessa svizzera e quindi tutte e due ne abbiamo approfittato per parlare solo in francese (raramente in inglese). Ci siamo divertite molto e nello stesso tempo il nostro livello di lingua è migliorato perchè io, la mia famiglia francese e i miei amici di CLE ci siamo sforzati di parlare solo in francese ! e credo che studiare una lingua straniera facendo delle attività piacevoli renda più semplice l’apprendimento..il nostro livello migliora senza che ce ne accorgiamo perchè in effetti siamo immersi nella cultura e nella lingua francesi e quindi per forza di cose facciamo dei progressi ! Una volta, per esempio, io e i miei amici di CLE abbiamo passato quasi tutto il weekend a giocare a Taboo in francese ed è stato stupendo e divertente !!
Posso dire di aver davvero scelto bene quando ho deciso di prenotare in questa scuola il mio soggiorno in Francia e ho potuto constatare che tutti i commenti positivi che avevo letto in internet erano più che veritieri !
Nella mia classe eravamo al massimo 7 studenti e la mia prof era molto professionale, preparata e disponibile ! Ci ha aiutati molto nella preparazione per il DALF C1 ed era sempre pronta a rispondere ai nostri dubbi e incertezze di qualsiasi argomento.
Se dovessi dare dei consigli ai futuri studenti di CLE direi che la cosa fondamentale è essere motivati e sfruttare al massimo ogni occasione per parlare francese, non si deve aver paura di sbagliare perchè così non si migliora, bisogna buttarsi ! è qui che abbiamo l’opportunità di chiarire i dubbi di grammatica o di pronuncia perchè ci sono insegnanti madrelingua e quindi perchè non approfittarne ? E se anche siete in gruppo con altri italiani ce la si può fare benissimo a parlare solo francese.. io ne sono un esempio =) basta volerlo ! La motivazione è importante e, in generale, gli studenti di CLE, sono loro che scelgono di studiare il francese in Francia e non sono obbligati da nessuno..e credo che questo faccia la differenza !
Studiare a Tours è un’ottima scelta perchè si parla il miglior francese (senza accento regionale) e perchè si può visitare la città e la valle della Loira con i suoi castelli da sogno. Si possono raggiungere anche in bici..non serve essere super sportivi perchè tutta la regione è pianeggiante e soprattutto il paesaggio lungo la Loira è fantastico !! Inoltre, Parigi è soltanto a 1 ora di distanza in TGV ed è facile anche raggiungere una località marittima grazie alla stazione dei treni di Tours. Ma se anche decideste di restare in città c’è sempre qualcosa da fare !
Una volta ho visitato una cantina dove ho fatto la degustazione di vini (davvero interessante e il vino..da provare !) e più tardi CLE ha organizzato una degustazione di formaggi della regione : un’altra occasione per scoprire i sapori e i piatti tipici del territorio !
Insomma, il mio soggiorno è stato meraviglioso ! e ho già deciso che ci tornerò perchè mi sono innamorata del francese, di Tours e della Touraine e di tutti gli amici che mi sono fatta in questo mese !

Ringrazio CLE per questa opportunità unica e speciale !!

Vor einigen Jahren habe ich mich einer Bekannten angeschlossen und begonnen, einen französischen Konversationskurs zu besuchen. Seine Anforderungen waren für mich sehr hoch. Mangels Praxis war nicht viel von meinen Französischkenntnissen übrig geblieben. Obwohl ich mich etwas mit Grammatik beschäftigt hatte, fehlte mir eine systematische Basis.
Dieses Jahr dachte ich mir, dass ich fähig sei, alleine in Frankreich zurechtzukommen. Meine Frage nach einem Gebiet mit guter französischer Aussprache beantwortend empfahl unsere Französischlehrerin mir die Region an der Loire ungefähr zwischen Tours und Orléans. Eines Tages hatte ich die Idee, dort nicht nur die Zeit zu verbringen, sondern eine Sprachschule zu besuchen.
Ich fand im Internet unter anderen CLE. Es hat mir am besten gefallen. Danach ging alles wie am Schnürchen. Nachdem ich mich eingetragen hatte, erhielt ich rasch die Aufnahmebestätigung mit umfangreichen Informationen über CLE, die Stadt Tours und seiner Umgebung, die günstigsten Ankunftsmöglichkeiten sowie eine Zuweisung einer den von mir gewählten Kriterien völlig entsprechenden Unterkunft.
Am ersten Vormittag des Kurses hatten wir eine Prüfung zur Ermittlung unserer Kenntnisse. Meine Zuweisung zu einer Gruppe war sofort ideal. Einige wenige Teilnehmer sind im Laufe der ersten Tage in ihren Kenntnissen besser entsprechende Gruppen umgesetzt worden. Die Klassen und die Bibliothek sind freundlich, nur das Direktionsbüro befindet sich im schlechtesten Zimmer des Hauses. Auch diese Tatsache besagt, dass die Studenten bei CLE im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit sind.
An den Vormittagen beteiligte man sich in der Gruppe, der man zugeteilt worden war. An den zwei Nachmittagen einer Woche mit Unterricht hatte man die freie Wahl von Lehrveranstaltungen. Das, was ich gewählt hatte, war immer interessant und hat mir viel gegeben. Das auf der Internetseite von CLE angekündigte Angebot an pädagogischen Materialien, Büchern etc. hat sich völlig bestätigt. Die Lehrer sind verständnisvoll, hilfsbereit und sehr kompetent, Ausländer auszubilden. In unserer Gruppe waren sechs Studenten aus verschiedenen Ländern. Die Aufgaben wurden reihum gestellt. Manchmal fehlten Studenten. Ein Mal hatte ich einen Vormittagskurs ganz für mich alleine.
Es war auch interessant, Menschen verschiedener Länder von Kanada bis Australien kennen zu lernen und mit ihnen etwas gemeinsam zu unternehmen. Auch das wurde von CLE gefördert.
Während der zwei Wochen im CLE habe ich mich wie in einem Schlaraffenland der französische Sprache gefühlt.
Horst Aden (79), Deutschland

Il y a quelques années, j'ai suivi une connaissance et j'ai commencé à suivre un cours de conversation française. Son niveau était beaucoup trop haut pour moi. A défaut de pratique, peu était resté de mes connaissances en français. Bien que je m'occupasse un peu de grammaire, il me manquait une base systématique.
Cette année, je pensais pouvoir me débrouiller seul en France. A ma question concernant une région avec une bonne prononciation française notre professeur de français a recommandé la vallée de la Loire entre environ Tours et Orléans. Un jour, j'ai eu l'idée de ne pas passer seulement du temps là-bas, mais aussi de fréquenter une école de langue.
J’ai trouvé CLE sur Internet. C’est l’école que j’ai préférée. Ensuite, tout a marché comme sur des roulettes. Après m’être inscrit, j’ai reçu promptement la confirmation d'inscription avec des informations considérables sur CLE, la ville de Tours et ses environs, des conseils pour le voyage, ainsi que les coordonnées d'un logement correspondant complètement aux critères que j’avais choisis.
La première matinée du cours, nous avions un examen pour l'évaluation de nos connaissances.
Mon placement dans un groupe était tout de suite idéal. Peu de participants ont été déplacés au cours des premiers jours dans des groupes qui correspondaient mieux à leurs connaissances. Toutes les classes et la bibliothèque sont accueillantes, seulement le bureau des directeurs se situe dans la plus mauvaise pièce de la maison. Ce fait témoigne aussi que les étudiants sont au centre de l'attention.
Le matin, on participait aux cours du groupe dans lequel auquel on avait été placé. Les deux après-midi de la semaine, on avait le choix. Ce que j'avais choisi, c'était toujours intéressant et m'a beaucoup apporté. L'offre des matériels pédagogiques, livres etc. dans les pages du site de CLE s'est complètement confirmée. Les enseignantes sont compréhensives, serviables et très compétentes pour former des étrangers. Six étudiants de différents pays étaient dans notre groupe. Les tâches étaient attribuées à tour de rôle. Parfois quelques étudiants étaient absents. Une fois j'ai eu un cours tout seul.
C'était intéressant aussi de faire la connaissance de gens de différents pays du Canada jusqu'à l’Australie et de faire des activités un peu ensemble. Cela aussi était encouragé par CLE.
À CLE pendant les deux semaines je me suis senti comme dans un pays de cocagne de la langue française.

In den Nachmittagsateliers koennen Kurse ausgewaehlt werden.
Die Studenten haben viel Gelegenheit zu sprechen.
In der Freizeit werden Aktivitaeten angeboten. Ich habe die historische Fuehrung durch Tours und den Besuch des Zeitungsverlags\TV Studio sehr geschaetzt.

In der Schule hat es StudentInnen verschiedenster Nationen: Golfstaaten, USA, Russland, GB, Schweiz, Spanien, Finnland...
Die Atmosphaere in der Schule ist freundlich; die Zeiten werden strikt eingehalten.
Fuer mich war der Besuch von CLE eine grosse Bereicherung.

I spent 3 and a half weeks at CLE in May 2011. I was learning French in preparation for a new job, so took individual classes.

My experience there was excellent. The teachers were engaging and worked hard to tailor their lessons to me. We worked with a range of media (books, comics, films etc) and I learnt a huge amount about French culture at the same time as learning the language.

CLE placed me with an excellent host family who made a real effort to integrate me into their family life.

Tours is a beautiful town and CLE put on a number of weekend activities to ensure that students can make the most of their time there.

I've now started my new job, and thanks to CLE I've been confidently using my French!

I am very happy with my experience at CLE.

In addition, everyone was extremely friendly, and I enjoyed the city of Tours.

I spent 3 weeks at CLE and i couldn't have been more happier with my choice! The assessment test at the beginning of my stay was a perfect way to identify where i should be placed according to my french knowledge. The classes were kept very small which allowed the teachers to properly help each student progress in the way they need to. Each class focuses evenly on all aspects of learning a new language. I learned a lot during my 3 weeks, and i would go back to CLE in a heart beat!
Also, dont be afraid to ask questions! Everyone was helpful no matter what kind of question i had, whether it be about homework or a place i wanted to visit; everyone took their time to help!

I spent 2 weeks at the CLE improving my language skills. I couldn't recommend this school more. The test at the beginning is a brilliant tool for assessing your level and the classes are no more than 7 people (a rule which is strictly adhered to) meaning constant interaction with the teacher. A lot of attention is paid to pronunciation and there is lots of oral practice during the class, which is very conducive to improving your speaking! I would also highly recommend having some private tuition in the afternoon - you can direct what you want the focus of the classes to be and it's definitely enhances the work you do in the group classes. Herve and Isabelle are brilliant as well - they are on hand all hours of the day to deal with your questions/problems. Overall a very rewarding experience.

I spent 2 weeks in CLE-I thoroughly recommend this school. It is small enough to get to know most of the pupils and staff in quite a short time and the atmosphere was very friendly. The organisation is flexible and every effort is made to adjust the timetable and teaching to your needs. The teaching was interesting, very helpful and of excellent quality.
The school is well placed in the centre of the city and the school arranged for me to stay with a good family.
Altogether v. highly recommended
