Der Unterricht war je nach Lehrperson sehr unterschiedlich. Das Apartment ist nicht mehr das neuste, das heisst die Einrichtung/Dinge sind teilweise kaputt und nicht mehr im besten Zustand. Die Beziehung mit den anderen Studierenden ist sehr gut, man lernt schnell neue Leute und neue Kulturen kennen.

Ich finde die Stadt Lyon wirklich sehr schön. Lyon ist zwar nicht so besonders gross, aber dennoch hat es alles was man benötigte. Die Altstadt ist super süss und die Architektur hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass sehr viele Menschen auf der Strasse oder auf einer Wiese geschlafen haben in Zelten. Das hat mich stark zum Nachdenken gebracht und mich hilflos fühlen lassen. Die Schule war super. Die Lehrer/-innen waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Klassenzimmer waren ein wenig zu klein und die meisten Zimmer hatten gar keine Deckenlampen, sodass es am Nachmittag ziemlich dunkel im Zimmer war. Wir haben vor allem mit Blätter gearbeitet und nicht mit Büchern. Ich hätte es bevorzugt mit einem Buch zu arbeiten, damit ich auch nach dem Sprachaufenthalt die anderen Themen selbstständig zu erarbeiten. In der Schule hatte es extrem viele Schweizer und Spanischsprechende. Unter den Schweizern war es schwierig französisch zu sprechen, da man wusste die andere Person würde auch deutsch verstehen. Allgemein gesagt, fand ich die Schule wirklich top, weil man sehr schnell neue Freunde gefunden hat und die Lehrer/-innen alle so sympathisch waren. Ich würde auch sagen, dass ich ziemlich viel gelernt habe, da es jeden Freitag einen kleinen Test gegeben hat, um zu sehen, ob man die Themen der Woche verstanden hatte. Dieses System finde ich wirklich hilfreich. Die Familie war super freundlich! Mich hat es ein bisschen gestört, dass wir jeden Tag Fleisch gegessen haben. Ich habe ihr gesagt, dass ich nicht so viel Fleisch essen möchte, doch ihr Sohn wollte immer Fleisch dazu. Allgemein das Essen war meistens von der Mikrowelle aufgewärmt oder von draussen gekauft. Es war nicht so schlecht, aber eine abwechslungsreiche Ernährung hätte mir gefallen. Die Wohnung war extrem sauber und alles sah relativ neu aus. Ich hatte ein eigenes Zimmer und eine eigene Dusche. Das fand ich super.

Alpadia, Lyon
Duration: 5 weeks

Studying at Alpadia this summer was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is great and the groups are the perfect size (around 8 people). The programme is well structured and allows you to improve at your own pace. Furthermore, the school is placed in the centre of Lyon. It’s a really pleasant city: fun and with lots of things to do!

In short, you learn and you have fun. Getting to know the country that borders with mine but that can seem so different at times is a great experience. I also recommend staying with a host family, as it is the perfect complement to a language course and it offers the complete picture of French culture.

Duration: 3 weeks

My stay in the French city of Lyon was a memorable experience. It was the first time I travelled alone but I felt comfortable straight away because people on site helped me a lot and I rapidly got used to my new environment. The school is small but has everything you need. The teachers were like friends, friendly and funny and always available if we needed help or advice. The school is located in the heart of the city and well-served by public transport. Lyon is a beautiful town. It is crossed by two rivers, which creates an amazing atmosphere. At night, the city is even more attractive as the two rivers are illuminated. It is a young city and it is not too big so you can get around it quite easily with public transport. You can enjoy every area of the city, especially the historical part, the “Vieux Lyon”. I can only recommend this destination to everyone! I really had a great time there and in the end, I didn’t want to go back home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Duration: 1 week

I am a wine lover and Lyon is the perfect city if you love wine and also cheese. It is easy to walk around the city and I only had to take public transport a couple of times. All in all time went by really quickly and I managed to be speaking French by the end of the week! It was a great experience that I hope to repeat again soon.

Host family
Being immersed in a country’s culture is without a doubt one of the best ways to learn the language.

With shops, cinemas, exhibitions, concerts, sports centres, bars, restaurants, nightclubs and much more, you will find a wide range of attractions to enjoy in Lyon. In the 2,000 years since the Romans founded Lugdunum (their name for Lyon and one of the ancient world’s most important cities), it has turned into a top international destination, especially for foodies. Head a short distance outside the city and enjoy the beautiful countryside that provides the ingredients for the legendary local cuisine. Take a walk, go on a bike ride or taste the latest wines from the Beaujolais region. Its closeness to the Mediterranean, Paris and Geneva makes Lyon an ideal destination for studying French, and you will no doubt be seduced by its beauty, rich culture and festive atmosphere.
