Back to School

Autumn not only marks a reluctant return to studies for youngsters but also a chance for adults to improve themselves as well. Many schools and colleges across the country offer evening classes in French.

If this sounds a little dull to you then there is a better way of getting your head around a language - by throwing yourself into the French way of life, you can live and learn. Cactus Language runs courses in 25 tongues including French, but they also offer lessons in 120 destinations in 40 countries.

And on top of that, you can choose to combine your course with a range of activities - from golf and cookery to oenology (the study of wines) and even surfing for the more active. For a more practical application, you can also study law.

Caclus Language runs entry and more advanced level French courses in Britain - in centres across London, Brighton and Manchester. For details on prices, locations and classes visit www.cactuslanguage.com.
