You are guests in the Godard's house, eating your meals with them and, at lunch, with the instructors. I found several aspects of the course highly unique and commendable. Your method of practicing French pronunciation is essential for the American like me unskilled in French phonetics. Incidentally, my French friends, initially sceptical about me taking a course in Belgium, were also impressed. I've been studying French for years in the United States, with private lessons, classes, books, audio tapes, video tapes and what have you.
French pronunciation is profoundly different from English.
