The latest direct teaching methods are applied in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere guaranteeing
optimum intensity and maximum individuality. All students use materials developed by Actilangue

conversation groups. Students are grouped by age and mutual interests in addition to their knowledge
of French in such a way that conversation focuses on topics of interest to all.
The Actilangue Programme

emphasis is placed on the practical use of spoken and written French. The language is learned in

ACCOMMODATION
Family
All homes are carefully inspected. Actilangue provides comfortable homes in safe, middle to upper
class neighbourhoods that are located between 5 to 20 minutes from the institute by foot or by bus.
Most of the host families live close to the school (about 80%). So the student can walk to the school. It
is not necessary to use the city public transportation. The different types of host families are: a couple
with children, a couple without children, a single lady with children, a single lady. Most of them are
non-smoking families. The vegetarian diet is usually accepted.
Both single and double rooms are available with breakfast, half and full board options. We
recommend the room with half board (breakfast and dinner) because eating with the family will give the
opportunity to practise the French language. On the first day, the host family will show the students how
to get to Actilangue.
