9 OUR STUDENTS TESTIMONIES Nicolas Kunzi Switzerland school teacher «I enjoyed a lot my stay in Nice, at the summer university and with my friends. I liked this mix between seriousness and the feeling to be on holiday. It helped me a lot that no one was speaking my language which is Swiss German, so I was obliged to speak French or English day and night enjoying both. If I find a way to participate at the 2013 promotion, I will do it certainly.» Roberto Fornasiero Italian business advisor «I do advise this university! I am a businessman who likes languages and I went to various institutes to learn English and Spanish, but I never found such a friendly environment. Furthermore, there is a very pleasant atmosphere in that school, we meet interesting people and everyday we have the occasion to learn something about Nice, the Côte d Azur and the country. Classes are well organised and the teachers are very professional. The cultural activities are a mix of culture, friendship and fun in the most beautiful place on earth: the côte d Azur. I have studied here twice and I think I will come back for a third.» Shital Dhakal Népalais engineer student Bonjour. When I started my French classes as a perfect beginner, I was confused if the classes conducted entirely in French are going to help me. But after a month, I feel like I have got the right start-up that I was craving for. The teachers, friends and resources proved up to be of immense significance as its for them that I have now rooted a deep passion for the language. I enjoyed the month thoroughly and can speak now with confidence that my French will only get better with days to come. I sincerely thank 'Université Internationale d'eté de Nice' for the wonderful lessons and teachers. Merci beaucoup!!!
