    I stayed in Nice for a week, and taking classes at International House was the best thing that I did during my stay. The onboarding process was smooth, seamless, and you immediately felt welcome. This was really a relief for someone in a new country and in a new situation. As a language teacher, I can say without a doubt that the teachers are top notch. They care about your learning and make classes student- centered. The classroom environment is positive and welcoming. All classes are taught completely in French, and within a week, I already noticed major improvement in my level of French. There are activities offered outside of the classroom that allow you to discover Nice, practice French, and meet new people. It was an absolute pleasure to take classes here. Et merci a Nathalie de m’avoir beaucoup enseigné! J’ai hâte d’y retourner!

    I enjoyed my classes at this language school and I would happily come back again. I really liked my teacher Michael, he is fun, easy-going, speaks only French with the students, but still easy to follow him due to his style and very clear explanations. The only "negative" part is that ont he 2nd week there were 13 students in the group and in very different level somehow, so I think it was not ideally put together based on the level assessment. But still, the teacher made the best of it. The location of the school is also great, in a quiet but still quite central street.

    I LOVED my classes at IH Nice. Our teacher, Maryannick was excellent and the staff and campus were both great as well. The location was perfectly situated amongst cafes, boulangeries and pharmacies too. I would recommend IH in a heartbeat, and also taking supplementary private lessons. Tehse two hour sessions took my learning to a higher level. Merci beaucoup, IH Nice!

    (Translated by Google) Apparently, the school is not doing very well with income from commercial education, which is probably why it provides training at levels A1 (from 100 to 600 hours) and A2 (100 hours) under the CIR contract from OFII, which is fully funded by the state and the cost which, respectively, is two times lower than in commercial groups - 120 euros for 20 hours a week, in a group of 15 people of different levels of language proficiency from zero to intermediate. Accordingly, the quality of education under such conditions is the same - no !!! At level A2, they do not teach anything, they ride on what we already know and what we don’t know, well, okay, it’s okay. They don't really prepare for language tests / exams, neither for internal A2, let alone TCF. Nobody here is interested in making progress and improving my language level. The teacher simply serves his working time, at the same time uses it as ineffectively as possible: he allows himself to be late, lengthen the breaks at his discretion - to return to class when he has finished all his chores, to make photocopies for a long time during classes, so if out of the prescribed four hours we study in as a result, a maximum of three, or even less. Every day there are a lot of different blablabla about anything, they give haphazard copies of different materials and topics that are in no way related to each other, the declared topics are not revealed, they are cut off before they have started, they do not give grammar. For me, this is a meaningless pastime without any progress in the language, just wasted time ... A separate problem is the space and acceil - on which there is never anyone. The toilet is very small and terrible, one for a large number of practitioners, and in the conditions of the spread of covid, it is just complete unsanitary conditions and a violation of all norms !!! And on Friday it was also closed with a note that it does not work, it was just a nightmare !!! The school building on the first floor is undergoing renovation, there is construction noise and a rumble that interferes with studies. The school is located in a building with residential apartments and we are constantly being pulled and made comments - do not do this, do not do this, otherwise the tenants are complaining ... If there are other possibilities, avoid this place. (Original) По всей видимости у школы не очень хорошо обстоят дела с доходами от коммерческого обучения, наверное поэтому здесь проводится обучение на уровни А1 (от 100 до 600 часов) и А2 (100 часов) в рамках контракта CIR от OFII, которое полностью финансируется государством и стоимость которого соответственно в два раза ниже, чем в коммерческих группах - 120 евро за 20 часов в неделю, в группе 15 человек разного уровня владения языком от нулевого до среднего. Соответственно и качество обучения при таких условиях такое же - никакое!!! На уровне А2 ничему не учат, едут на том что мы уже знаем, а что не знаем, ну и ладно, сойдёт и так. К языковым тестам/экзаменам реально не готовят, ни к внутреннему А2, ни уж тем более к TCF. Никто здесь не заинтересован в прогрессе и улучшении уровня моего языка. Преподаватель просто отбывает своё рабочее время, при этом использует его максимально неэффективно: позволяет себе опаздывать, удлинять перерывы на свое усмотрение - возвращаться в класс когда закончила все свои дела, подолгу делать ксерокопии во время занятий,так что если из положенных четырех часов мы занимаемся в итоге максимум три, а то и меньше. Каждый день много разного блаблабла ни о чём,дают бессистемные копии разных материалов и темы, никак между собой не связанные, заявленные темы не раскрываются, обрываются, не успев начаться, грамматику не дают. Для меня это бессмысленное времяпровождение не дающее никакого прогресса в языке, просто потерянное время... Отдельная проблема это пространство и acceil - на котором никогда никого нет. Туалет очень маленький и ужасный, один на большое число занимающихся, а в условиях распространения ковид, это просто полная антисанитария и нарушение всех норм!!! А в пятницу и он был закрыт с пометкой, что не работает, это был просто кошмар!!! В здании школы на первом этаже идёт ремонт, стоит строительный шум и грохот, мешающий занятиям. Школа расположена в здании с жилыми апартаментаментами и нас постоянно дергают и делают замечания - не делайте то, не делайте это, а то жильцы жалуются... Если есть другие возможности, избегайте это место.

    Great school and staff. I did a 2 month stay there earlier this year and decided to sign up for a few more months when I moved to Nice this October. They will help with accommodation, but make sure you think about that choice carefully and research the locations. I decided to book my own for the longer stay. All ages will be fine here with adults making up the majority of students.

    I am very happy to say hello again. I had studied here for one year and I just finished my french course last week. From 9:00 to 12:15, everyday's class made me enjoyable and challenging. All the teachers(Jean Christophe, Nathalie, Alice, Maryanick and Lala) were very kind to me and they always did their best to help my french study. I will never forget the moments which I had spent with a variety of national classmates. I really apprecate it.

    (Translated by Google) School, in general, well equipped (coffee and snack vending machine, microwave, fridge, etc.). Most rooms have air conditioning. The director is very friendly and helpful as well as the teachers. Several interesting outings are organized. Very recommendable!

    (Translated by Google) I went to this school because I needed information to renew my letter of sejour. Very good and professional attention, I did the TEF exam with them and I passed. The price is also cheaper than in other centers. (Original) Fui a esta escuela porque necesitaba información para renovar mi carta de sejour.

    (Translated by Google) I took a DELF preparation course for 2 weeks. I told them that I would like them to put the most effort into the individual lessons in the afternoon, and in my case, they taught me the problem of writing sentences especially carefully. During each lesson, I read the sentences in question aloud, so I had them teach me how to pronounce them. I am studying according to the teacher, thanks to the teacher finding out what I am not familiar with and what I am not good at, choosing the right problem to be able to do it each time, and giving me a lot of homework. I just remembered what I learned naturally. I was planning to take the DELF two weeks later, so I took the course for only two weeks, but in just two weeks I finished all the preparation lessons, I had a lot of homework and I was busy with work, so it was very difficult for me. The period of 2 weeks was just right. If I have time to spare, I would like to take more lessons to deepen my knowledge. (Original) 2週間DELF対策コースを受けました。午後の個別レッスンで一番力をいれてほしいことを伝えて、私の場合は文章を書く問題を特に丁寧に指導していただきました。毎回レッスン中は問題の文章なども声を出して読んだりしたので、発音もしっかり指導していただきました。私があまりよく知らない内容や苦手そうなところを先生が見つけてくださり、それらをできるようになる丁度よい問題を毎回選んで、たくさん宿題を出していただいたおかげで、先生に従って勉強しているだけで自然と勉強した内容が記憶されました。2週間後にDELFを受ける予定でしたので2週間だけコースを受けましたが、丁度2週間で一通り対策のレッスンも終わり、宿題がたくさんあって仕事も忙しく、とても大変だったので、私には2週間という期間が丁度よかったです。もしまた時間に余裕ができたら、さらにレッスンを受けて知識を深めたいと思います。

    (Translated by Google) J'ai étudié le français dans cette école pendant 6 mois. Tous les professeurs étaient gentils. Ils parlaient le français aux étudiants clairement et doucement. On peut marcher de cette école à la plage. Et puis on peut acheter le déjeuner au super marcheré côté de l'école et à la boulangerie près de l'école. merci beaucoup! There was a Japanese staff member who provided kind support many times. If you are a beginner in French (or English) level, you may hesitate to enter the school, but I think you can go there with confidence.

    I savoured every minute of my time at IH Nice. The quality of the teaching from all 3 of my teachers, Anne F, Cynthia and Aurore was excellent. I would recommend the school to anyone. You will learn and have a lot of fun.

    I finished my 100-hour B1 level french course here last week and it was an amazing experience! Its location, staff and facilities were great and above all there was our professor. Younes had a great taste on choosing different topics and references and by adding his unique everyday french-life experience to them, made them easy to understand, extra useful and a huge aid in order to integrate into french society. I definitely recommend and thank him and the institute.
