Our obsession with reality tv has finally culminated in a show to really make us go ooh la la...

A current BBC programme on learning French abroad sees a handful of celebrities going through the paces of learning a language in southern France. So if you've ever wondered what learning a language is really like, this is your opportunity to be a fly on wall: witness their language lessons, experience their language faux pas and admire their ultimate reward of speaking a language (almost) fluently.

Of course many of you will know what all this is like already. You've been on language holidays and know what a thrill it is to learn the local lingo. But first-hand experience is the best recommendation, so why not read our client feedback or simply ask us if you want the real low-down. We've all learnt languages and are only too keen to give you the bug too!
