Arnaud works in sales for a company dealing in packaging for a wide range of international markets. He needed to improve his English for his professional work dealing in negotiations and sales and for socialising with clients on overseas visits.
He stayed with the Colley family and had one-to-one lessons with two different teachers during his one-week intensive immersion in England. Lessons take place in the home of the teacher.
The British summer is still very warm and we are enjoying blue skies with few clouds to spoil the sunshine. His teachers took full advantage of the weather to take him to visit the Isle of Wight and other local attractions in this beautiful part of the south coast of England.
Arnaud's main problem was choosing the right tense in English and at the end of the week he felt that his teachers had located exactly where his difficulties lay. "I think that now I have the good reflexes," he says.

About his host family he had the most to say: " Vanessa and Nathan are really the best side of the course. They learned me many words. I'm like their own child; they cooked me very well but also they teached me many different new words.
The teachers are good and to be in a house is more friendly than in a school and rich for the exchange. The mix of home life and school is a very good experience, and it looks like holidays!"
