"My experience at Verlaine Langue was magnificent. I arrived in Paris for a 4 month sabbatical, with the intention of bringing my basic French to a level of fluidity and confidence. I more than achieved that by the time I returned to New York. Claudine and Jean, professional linguists, know how to teach at many levels, they were always well organized and generous with their time.

The classes, often an interesting international mix of students, were small, lively and fun. I got all the individual attention I needed and the courses were a good balance of repetition and new material. Merci, Claudine et Jean."
