J'ai étudié à Horizons Francophones pendant trois mois. Ce que j'ai aimé dans cette école, c'est que la méthode d'enseignement est toujours basée sur votre niveau de compétence et votre connaissance du français. Les professeurs sont déterminés pour que les élèves réussissent leur examen et accessibles pour répondre aux questions. C'était une expérience globalement formidable.
