"Emmanuelle and the team at Sojoourn have created a great community with lots of activities and opportunities for networking. It's like a one stop shop for expats to help you with everything and anything you need. Personally I have done French classes for 6 months through Sojoourn and it is so much better than standard language schools! Recently I also did some online cooking workshops which were excellent! I highly recommend Sojoourn to any current or future expats."
"French courses with Sojoourn have been a life-saver for me. I'm a busy professional with a tight schedule, and got matched up with an amazing teacher who fits right into my lifestyle. I can already see my French improving!"
