Jack United Kingdom 18/08/2022
was a hard decision finding a school that would provide the excellent immersive experience we were looking for. However, Sofi64 excelled in catering for myself and 7 of my colleagues, all with varying degrees of French; from absolute beginner to advanced. From the very beginning, Sofi64 rose to the challenge spectacularly and provided the whole group with an unforgettable week-long course. The whole ambience was warm and friendly and the week-long course was tailored to ensure we felt at complete ease during our whole time there. This helped massively to alleviate any worries or lack of confidence the group felt. French is not only encouraged in the classroom, but outside of it; from eating in the beautiful courtyard, to drinking a coffee with fellow students and teachers in the kitchen, French was encouraged everywhere and really did help the process of everyone progressing at every possible moment. The lessons were adapted perfectly to suit the needs of all. Though my colleagues found the learning curve pretty tough at the beginning of the week, I was quite amazed by how quickly they began picking up on the target language within 5 days. My colleagues found the lessons fun, engaging and they were also adapted to ensure the lessons included content we could teach in our primary school. The lessons also helped the teachers with basic target language that could be used in the classroom back in England, to improving their pronunciation. Stephanie did really well to split up the classes and I absolutely loved the challenge in the advanced class. The lessons were adapted to what I wanted to learn about. In particular, Virginie ensured that each lesson included an oral discussion around different themes; from family and where I grew up to discussion about homelessness and world politics. I really enjoyed the discussions and the debates we had, and Virginie's preparation prior to each lesson ensured each minute was invaluable. In particular, the group thoroughly enjoyed being so close to the beach and Stephanie provided superb advice on where was best to catch the best waves and also to swim. The group also hired a few of the surfboards and had a blast. Overall, our group absolutely loved the experience at Sofi64 and if I could change anything about our experience, it would be to book an even longer course to fully maximise the learning potential of the whole group.

I spent 4 weeks in SOFI 64 this autumn. After this time I can follow a conversation and understand a lot. I learnt more French in one month from Steph, than I did in 4 years at school in my home country. Our group was small, the class was great and really dynamic. There were lots of conversation and games that help to practice grammar and vocabulary. I really recommend SOFI64! I had a great time, and it was too short for me, I would have loved to stay longer. My French improved really fast!
Gearoid Ireland 25/08/2014
I could not have asked for more. The location is fabulous, within 5 mins walk from the best beaches in the area. The school has a few little restaurants and shops within the surrounding area, which are perfect for lunch. The school is what other schools should strive to be. The teacher, Steph, is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I learned more french in one month from Steph than I did in 6 years in school learning french. Every class was interesting, I will be back ASAP. It's a must!!!
Benjamin Australia 10/08/2014
Not having the ability to name the days of the week or count past 10, I was hesitant that the lessons were taught only in French & wondered how I was ever going to learn anything. After 6 weeks, initially only booking for 5, I have completed my A1 level & able to understand & participate in social conversations. Just as important my reading/writing skills are much improved. Stephanie is a sound professional with a unique personality which makes learning enjoyable & most importantly effective.
Olly United Kingdom 01/08/2014
SOFI 64 - What an incredible language school! Arrived in June and studied the Intensive French Language Programme with our teacher Steph for 6 weeks. It has advanced my knowledge and understanding of the language beyond belief. Steph is such a good teacher and so in tune with the needs, demands and requirements of all her students. She is unique and truly one of a kind. Her teaching style is fun, dynamic, topical and innovative. I would highly recommend studying at the school and with Steph!

Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.

You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option,  that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.

Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay with credit card, a PayPal account or, for most countries, bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts. In any case, you will be receiving emails about your deposit payments; and also, reminders about the rest of the money when it needs to be paid.
Our discount: When the school offers it, you get the LanguageBookings discount and pay less than the school's own price list. You will see it on the school and course pages.

Help in your language: We answer your questions in your language, before and after you book.

We deal with the school for you: If the price, dates or accommodation change, we sort it out with the school on your behalf.

Book with a deposit only: The deposit is part of the course price, not an extra charge. If you pay by card, it is only authorised when you book and charged once the school confirms your place. If the school cannot confirm it, you are not charged, or the deposit is refunded in full.
The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and  you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
 You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
