These courses are both conducted in French, but the professors speak clearly and are fluent in English if there is a problem. Each class meets one day a week for two sessions of one and a half hours each. This program is ideal if you want to work towards a CSOM International Studies Minor. The living situation for IES Dijon is also ideal. You are placed directly with a French family which can be any kind of structure - couple, single woman, or family with kids.
Breakfast is provided every day, as well as at least three dinners each week.
This situation is the best way to experience French culture and is a great way to improve your French as well. I was concerned about my level of French before I left because it had been two years since I had taken a French course, but IES Dijon accepts all levels of ability. In fact, you will hear American music everywhere and can find American movies in the theaters. The French culture is quite different. Bread is made fresh every day, and cheese is served as a separate course at every meal.
