I just spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks learning French at KLF in the beautiful City of Annecy. My teachers Karin & Aude were excellent and they provided a very enjoyable environment for learning the language, I cannot recommend this school more highly. The only thing I would add, is to check what week you are joining a course as they run for eight weeks and if you arrive at Week 6 as I did you do miss the basis of what is being taught. Having said that I still learnt a lot.

I signed up for the seniors French language course. We had a lovely group that bonded well over our love of France. The lessons, the trips and visits to local restaurants were fantastic and very good value for money.

I was there for three weeks. It was a fantastic experience.  My teacher was experienced and empathetic and I learned a lot during this time. Plus Annecy is a great place to practice what one has learned. I would do it again!

Exceeded our expectations!  A phenomenal experience. We had interactions 3 teachers and 2 administrators. Everyone we met was helpful and encouraging. The teachers are amazing and the best!  Quite adept at instruction and engagement. I was particularly impressed how they ensured every student was advancing, whatever level they were at. Would 100% do this again. And look forward to having the opportunity again some day.

I very much enjoyed the Senior French Immersion Program.  The classes and the instructor were excellent.  My stay with a host family was wonderful !  I enjoyed the outings to restaurants and the tours that were provided.  I especially liked the Atelier fabrication de fromage.  And the time I spent in Annecy was marvelous !

The classroom was overcrowded, with desks and chairs arranged haphazardly. The air was extremely stuffy, the fans didn't have enough space to run properly and were noisy, the monitor almost blocked half of the blackboard, and the electrical wires at the front of the classroom were a mess. The classroom environment was my biggest disappointment. There were only two toilets, which were simply not enough to use during breaks. The overall space planning definitely needs a serious overhaul.

Attending the IFALPES school in Annecy was an excellent experience! I was there for 5 days of teaching and thoroughly enjoyed it. The teachers were very encouraging and helpful.

I spent six weeks of my summer here, and I couldn’t have chosen better.  The school was very organized and the staff communicated with all of the students—including me very well.  They provide homestay or very affordable housing options in Annecy, which is one of the most beautiful and somewhat expensive areas in France.  It’s ideal for nature enthusiasts like me.  Their classes are very well organized, and all of the instructors are enthusiastic and care about their students.  Although my instructor, Gladys, was newer to teaching, she spent a lot of time trying to tailor the class to all of our interests and really cared about us as students.  The school also provides many activities such as weekly drinks, paddle boarding, hiking, visiting the beach and local museums, and city tours to socialize with other students and make you feel welcome.  Most of them are free or cost a very small amount.  If you can’t make it to Annecy, check out the other locations of this school through France!

It was a unique experience. I loved the French classes and living with a host family. Léandre is the best language teacher I've ever had, fantastic. I feel like I learned a lot. I'll do it again whenever I have the chance.

A very positive experience with IFALP Annecy. We spent a week in this beautiful city and will cherish the memories. A huge thank you to our teacher, Pascaline Mermoux, for her kindness, patience, and the high quality of her lessons. She made learning French both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this school and Pascaline to anyone who wants to learn French in a beautiful setting.

We just had a great week in Ifalpes.  Annecy is a beautiful town with lots to do and see.  The school is nicely located a walking distance from the old town and the lake.  The administrative process was easy and friendly.  Best of all our teacher leandre was excellent.  Very engaging, supportive, and encouraging if participation.  I learned a lot in one week.

A week-long super-intensive course. The classes were excellent, and the group was made up of adults of all ages. The "apero & rando" activity and others they offer are a great way to practice French. The city is very safe and beautiful. I will definitely return.
