What learners say
Reviews of Berlitz Nantes.

A quality course, followed over several months, with trainers who listen and are always available. The instructors, of different nationalities, bring real added value by letting you get used to different ways of speaking English. This course helped me progress and I recommend this centre without hesitation!
Great team, very friendly teachers who always listen and are patient. It was a real pleasure to come every Tuesday and I am delighted with the result. A big THANK YOU again. All the best to you all.
I was able to spend an intensive week of English lessons with the Berlitz Nantes teams, during which I met instructors who listen and show extreme kindness. I was able to spend my days with them (lunch included) and not speaking French all day is a real plus for improving quickly. Thank you to the whole team I was able to meet!
I am very satisfied with the English course, trainers who listen to you, the lessons with instructors from different countries let you get to grips with several accents. What's more, a welcoming and well-organised team, the extranet site is easy to use. Thank you to the whole Berlitz Nantes team.
Many thanks to Berlitz Nantes for the quality of the course! The people on the administrative side are very welcoming and available whenever needed. The English teachers I worked with are very friendly and skilled. I went for an assessment and an English refresher to take the TOEIC 4 skills; we worked well and in a good atmosphere. It was great, I recommend it!
Great!!! Good atmosphere overall, and the language lessons are tailored to each person. I made progress and gained confidence as a student, which helped me prepare my oral exam for the baccalauréat. I recommend it!!
French courses in Nantes: common questions
- Can I learn French at Berlitz Nantes as a complete beginner?
- Yes. Complete beginners start at level A1, and the first lesson is already held in French. Your trainer works with gestures, objects and rephrasing rather than translation, which is why no prior knowledge is needed.
- Where exactly is Berlitz Nantes?
- The centre is at 2 rue Crucy, 44000 Nantes. Its phone number is +33 2 72 01 20 70.
- Are lessons only in the centre?
- No. Online lessons follow the same method with the same trainers, and many learners at Nantes combine the two: in the centre when their week allows, online when it does not.
- How do I start?
- With a level assessment, which is a conversation rather than a test, and which commits you to nothing. The programme and the cost are proposed after it.

Tell us your level, when you would like to start, and what you need French for. If you have no level at all, say that: it is the most common answer.
