I want to express my deepest appreciation for the quality French language training I got at CERAN Provence. Individual and small group lessons and interaction provided by professional and dedicated teachers, language materials that are simple and calibrated as building bricks of the language, a 24 hour open language lab with the able guidance of trainers, evening group programs and sorties that forced one to utilize what learned and improvise as well, a home-like atmosphere with teachers and staff always there patiently, untiringly guiding them with the language as they chat, eat and exchange experiences and ideas with them ... all these combined provided a total immersion into the language and culture that helped me acquire the base, the take off point in the French language in an incredibly short time. Not all that was learned was immediately absorbed; I am realising the full benefit of what I acquired in CERAN as I continue to interact and work in the French language in a Francophone country. My profound thanks and commendation to the program, and most importantly the untiring and able staff of CERAN in Avignon.
