Bma Biarritz French Courses — Local services in Bayonne

We are a family living in Portugal and in April we contacted this school looking for a French course for my teenage daughter during the August holidays. They offered me a week of classes in the morning and we set the date. I asked if I needed to make any prepayment and Cloe said no because there was no accommodation, only the course and that I would pay everything on the first day. We arranged the accommodation and transportation for the family on our own and my daughter took the level test using the link sent by this school. 3 weeks before I confirmed with Cloe if they had received the test and everything was ok and she said yes and that they were waiting for the student on the scheduled day. What a surprise when we arrived at the school on the scheduled day and time and were greeted by Marie (the owner of the school) who said that there were no courses scheduled for my daughter and that there were no teachers available. I showed her the emails exchanged and she said that Cloe had gone on vacation and never returned and did not let us know and that there was nothing she could do. They gave us the name of another school to look for courses and then they could leave. We were shocked by such irresponsibility and disorganization. We invested money to be in Biarritz on these dates for the course and my daughter had expectations of improving her language skills by dedicating a few hours of her vacation to it. This school shouldn't even be operating, because they sell something that they...

It has been a great experience! Thanks to Marie, Patrice and the teachers our one week stage-holiday in Biarritz was great! I'm a teacher who spent one week with a group of Italian students attending a French course there. My impression was extremely positive but I think is far more important to write the students' opinions. All of them agreed with Camilla and Chiara :"The lessons at BMA school were interesting and amusing at the same time. The teachers were very good and spoke in a clear, understandable way. We never get bored and we appreciated everything especially the lessons about " Les Miserables". We learnt new words and new expressions. We improved our French a lot. Thanks to Marie and especially to Patrice who was always with us and ready to help. Thanks to everybody our stay in Biarritz was unique! We'll...

Spent three weeks in BMA last summer. The teachers in the school were really good and really focused on getting maximum points in the leaving cert, as well as improving my oral French. There were a lot of other Irish people there at the time which enhanced the trip a lot, but I also really improved my spoken French by interacting with other young French people and shopkeepers etc. who did not have a lot of English. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their French as well as have one of the most enjoyable trips in your life...
