Home-stays & Immersion Programs in France
Total immersion in France
Spending time in France in total immersion in French is certainly the best, fastest, most fun way to improve your French. Many adults however don’t feel like going in a school full of teenagers, with set programs that may not answer their needs. Host families don’t offer the comfort most adults would like to have when taking a vacation for themselves, or with their spouse and family... Furthermore, organizing a trip abroad is a lot of work, and the perspective of being alone in a foreign place is often intimidating.
Specially selected by me
To help you choose the best immersion program possible, I personally contacted these organisations, and checked their services, flexibility and reliability.
All of them speak English, have been teaching French as a second language for years and have developed their unique method that focuses on the student’s individual need. They are passionate about their region which they know inside out and will accompany you through many daily activities such as sightseeing, hikes in nature, cooking classes, wine tastings... They will arrange for your accommodation in a nice furnished apartment or B&B (perfect for couples, families or friends traveling together), or will open their house to you, providing lunch and dinners (a great and secure solution for people traveling alone or younger students).
Make sure you mention you are coming from French Today, and they will even have a special gift for you :-)
