As the leaves start to fall and the temperature drops, many are tempted to hibernate until the warmer months return. However, if you’re considering learning a language, now might just be the perfect time. French in Normandy, located in the charming city of Rouen, offers an excellent opportunity to embark on a language-learning journey in autumn and winter. Here are three reasons why this time of year is ideal for joining one of their French courses.

Less crowded than summer months

With many tourists choosing to visit Normandy during the warmer months, summer is often a hive of activity. However, the autumn and winter seasons tend to be quieter, offering a more serene environment for both sightseeing and language learning. With fewer distractions, you'll be able to dedicate more time and energy to mastering French and enjoy Rouen's cultural offerings to the full.

Smaller classes, greater progress

Since autumn and winter are the off-peak seasons for language schools, you'll often find smaller class sizes at French in Normandy during this time. In turn, this means more personalised attention from the school’s experienced teachers, allowing you to progress faster and gain a deeper understanding of the French language. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone looking to refine your already-existing skills, the focused attention you'll receive during the winter months will be invaluable.

Experience the authentic French lifestyle

Rouen, with its medieval architecture, cosy restaurants, and rich history, is a wonderful place to explore in the colder months. By joining a course at French in Normandy at this time of year, you'll have the opportunity to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the authentic French way of life. You can enjoy the delightful cuisine, stroll along the city’s cobblestoned streets, and even practise your language skills with the locals – an experience that goes beyond textbooks.
