Nik-Las language training

Post Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:41 pm

I'm planning on spending time in France this summer. I've enrolled in a french language course with Nik-Las and then they will arrange for a work session in a hotel in southern France.

Has anyone else tried this school?

I'm also interested in what health insurance I should get before leaving Canada.

Sounds like a great oppertunity! Do you speak any French? I found jumping into a language immersion situation the best way to learn the language, and having the school (if it is doing its job) will exponentiate your learning!

It is great!

I took french for 11 years in elementary and high school. I need to refresh my vocab and grammer.

What school dod you go to?

Well one thing I can tell you is that not only will you have to refresh the vocab' but make sure you get rid of the Quebecois Accent if you were taught that way. It is mocked by half the population here. Just like the Belgium French accent.
Otherwise health coverage is usually provided by the employer or at least a good part of it and remember. France probably has the best social security in the world, second only to Sweden. If anything happens to you it will be taken care of. Keep in mind that it's a socialist country out here ! ;)
