Il servizio è utile per avere un'idea dei costi e delle tipologie di corsi disponibili. Tuttavia ci sono alcune carenze nella struttura del sito e, a mio parere, nella chiarezza dei termini e delle condizioni. Non è possibile, per esempio, prenotare due corsi diversi nella stessa scuola senza doversi rivolgere all'assistenza e aspettare un po' di tempo prima di avere una risposta definitiva: ho sperimentato in prima persona che in casi simili, rivolgersi direttamente alla scuola prescelta è molto più pratico e veloce. Consiglio il servizio a chi prenota per la prima volta un corso di lingua, non ha praticità con l'inglese e necessita dunque di un intermediario. Per chi è un po' più avanti a mio parere è preferibile saltare l'intermediazione e rivolgersi direttamente alla scuola prescelta soprattutto nel caso in cui si abbiano richieste specifiche (come appunto la combinazione di due corsi diversi nella stessa struttura). Inoltre l'intermediazione richiede il pagamento di suddiviso tra due soggetti diversi (l'intermediario e la scuola) e pertanto rende poco consigliabile il pagamento tramite bonifici bancari che porterebbero a dover sostenere costi di gestione poco vantaggiosi.

I highly recommend going through this website to book your language course with Accord ecole de langues (the school I joined) as it is cheaper than booking with the institute directly. They gave me a 5% discount so were cheaper than all the other websites out there. I had no problems at all.

Hi! When I decided to go abroad to get an international living experience, I was a bit confused about a vast offer of diferent courses you can find in internet and may be by coicidence or good advertisement, choose to try the Language Course Net. And I have never regretted. That was I guess the third time I booked a course with them and was pretty happy with the assistance at the time of booking and the quality service at schools. Both teams (spanish and english) that I treated were kind and effective, they can even advise you on things about the country or recommend a school! And you are sure to get the best rates at a minimum of waiting time. Of course, sometimes you have to book in advance to get availability. I would recommend their web to everybody. The only, may be, thing that can still be improved is to add more schools and accommodation options, hope they´ll consider it. In general, a good investment and quality!

Cours de langues offers a large choice of schools, adapted to your requirements. The team is very reactive to answer to your questions. I am very satisfied !

I booked the course with Language Course. I wrote the assistant at least 5 times and he answered me in a really low time. I´m very glad of having choose this company. The assistant really wanted to pleased me. Even more than school. I really will choose this agency again for future courses.

After booking a Spanish course through languagecourse.net i found out that the school had a special discount on the course and that I could have saved 20% if I had booked directly through the school. When I mentioned this to languagecourse.net thay just told me that their "Price Guarantee" does not count when the school offers a special discount so I don't understand why they offer a gurantee that is not true.

I spent two weeks in Istanbul in early October - a good time of year, not too hot (and avoiding the Bayram holidays) with a "Live and learn in your teacher's home", with 25h/week of formal study. The finding of my teacher took a lot of patience from both organiser and me, but it was well worth the effort and the wait. The teacher (Özlem Kökten) was personable, very likeable and with near-native English, extremely competent, lots of experience of teaching English people Turkish. It was a challenge for her to find out what I already knew - or didn't know, or had forgotten - and patch up my knowledge whilst still making progress. Knowledge of English grammar (or any other language) is important but not essential. But anyway, we did it, and we made sure, between us, that I had my 25 hours a week ... AND I had homework for the next day! If I have any advice for someone considering 2 weeks of in-home study, to make best progress, try reading through some relevant 'teach yourself' book to be aware of concepts, try to learn at least some basics, that gets you off to a rolling start, don't be a complete beginner. For a homestay, it is critical that the student and teacher can work together and get on well as people as well. 50 hours of desk work is hard going, there's then all the other times between getting up and going to bed, plus weekends, which can add another couple of hundred hours together ... or apart, if you don't hit it off. I was lucky, it was obvious from the pre-stay contact that we were 'compatible' and I really enjoyed my time in Istanbul. We worked hard, we also enjoyed lots of social time together, at home and around Istanbul. I shudder to think what it might have been like if we had not been able to establish such a good rapport. Conclusion: the concept is great - you also don't waste time in travelling - but it is essential to have contact between teacher and student, even an exchange of emails to see how each other ticks is better than nothing, so that it is not a complete 'blind date', because it's not easy to change once you are there. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the tap water was not drinkable, not even by the locals - that means bottled water, even for doing teeth (or risk the inevitable). Would I do it again? Taking my own advice, yes, I would. And I would recommend my teacher to anyone.

Everything was just fantastic! Host family was nice and welcoming, we spent a lot of time in pleasant conversation, so I practiced my french. Apartment was beyond expectations, a minute to the cathedral and biggest town square. Lyon is beautiful city, I enjoyed very much my free time after classes and we had some interesting activities like guided visits and atelier cuisine at professor's home. City is great for bicycle riding. School is near city center. Groups are relatively small, professors are competent, supporting and atmosphere was really stimulative. There were student from all over the world, but we spoke only french in the school. I think their learning method is very good and I made significant progress. My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer. I wish I could go again to Lyon Bleu International!

They offer a great variety of locations, languages, cities and schools. The service is greate and they answer really fast. I booked twice and never had any problems. I only had contact by e-mail. But the response was always fast and the information they provided was always helpful. Next time I book a language course, I'll do it again with LanguageCourse.

I took 2weeks holiday from the company and went to Beijing for studying Mandarin. This site is very usuful to collect information, and also very clear about fees, terms. If you got any trouble with the school, you can always consult to the person in charge of the site. I think it is very nice especially when you go to a country like China, where many rules that you don't understand. 2 weeks were not good enough to improve language skills. But it was good experience for me, now I feel I can keep my motivation.

The site is excellent: it allows you to find quickly and effectively all that a person may need for your language course. Certainly suggest it

Easy to combine the language course and a holiday. One to one learning was very funny and informative. Even only a few hours is worth trying.

The Homepage is very easy to use. You can choose between the languages you want to learn and the country you want to learn it. There are reviews from other people to help you with your decition, witch school to pick. If you book via Languagecourse.net it is very easy: Just choose the kind of course, the acommodation (you can even stay longer as you take the course). You get a 5% discount if you book the course via languagecourse.net as compared to the "original" homepage. After I booked the language course, there was a really friendly e-mail contact. I was told the most important things (like paying, flight) and offered help for any question I had. They send me all documents via e-mail, I had not to care about anything. All in all a very easy to use and customer-friendly homepage with an excellent service.

j'ai passé 2 semaines très agréables à Gênes 40 heures de cours avec un professeur qui m'a fait beaucoup progresser ; les cours étaient de qualité et se déroulaient dans la bonne humeur l'école est située à deux pas du centre historique ces deux semaines m'ont aussi permis de prendre le temps de découvrir Gênes : les "caruggi", le port antique (avec les bateaux luxueux et les paquebots), une croisière vers les "cinque terre" (avec au retour les dauphins !) les pâtes au pesto "alla genovese", les foccacia ... c'est une ville multiculturelle très active qui gagne à être connue je conseille donc vivement la "scuola tricolore" à "Genova la bella" ou Gênes la superbe (tels sont ses surnoms !)

I booked a four week course at solexico through language course.net they were very quick to get back to me and provide all necessary information and details. They also offered four weeks of courses for the price of three weeks. it was a great discount. I would highly recommend using language course.net to book any language schools

This website has really made everything easier, from finding the best course adapted to my needs, giving me very clear information about everything, helping me in any part of the process and solving any doubts I could have in the whole process. The people that work in LanguajeCourse.net assisting future students were not only very efficient but also really kind and the contact was fluent and fast. And they also speak spanish, so it made everything easier. Also the prices are quite good compared to other companies or websites! In particular, my experience with Tli English School of Edinburgh was amazing, I've really improved my english, I've met cool people and I've enjoyed that beautiful, cultural and interesting city which is full of story but also full of social life! The Fringe festival really surprised me and even the city was really crowded of tourists, the experience was fantastic, and I would repeat it! So I definetly recomend this website and this school to people that want to live an easy, memorable and productive adventure. I'm sure I'll do it again sometime. Cheers!

After coming back my kids were playing this game "what did you do?". We were in the supermarket. Many other language games followed which they picked up at the Play With English course in Totnes. At the start of the week they were a bit concerned there were many students from Spain and they would learn Spanish instead. However the teachers were very strict and asked everyone to speak english. Hopefully my kids will speak sufficent English next year as they enter an english speaking school. Totnes and Devon are beautiful and there is lot's to visit when the kids are in school.

Dear Student
The price guarantee applies to both discounts from the school as well as from any other agency. Therefore, if it you booked the same course that had an offer, this should have been applied.
I really want to look into this matter so please contact the consultant who dealt with your booking and ask them to pass on the issue to Natalia.
