I have just had a most enjoyable time doing an immersion homestay with Pierre. He is an incredibly patient, experienced and well informed teacher who is very generous with his time managing to integrate learning into everything we did during the week.
A whole morning of a french lesson sounds intense but in reality the time flies by. Pierre constantly adapted his teaching to my needs and questions and I absolutely know that I’m much more fluent than I was before and that I can understand spoken french better as a result of my stay. I can’t recommend an immersion homestay with Pierre too much!
In the afternoons we went on some beautiful treks into the stunning countryside near Pierre’s home. He was always full of interesting facts and of course it was another opportunity to learn new vocabulary not to mention see some lovely places. I also spent an afternoon in Agen, the county town.
Pierre only moved to Tayrac 2 months ago and I believe I am the 1st student to have stayed in this particular house with him. The house is spacious and I had a very comfortable bedroom with TV and DVD player to watch french films in the evening if I could stay awake to do so! It’s a very rural spot and I didn’t have transport which I didn’t mind but I can imagine that this might be helpful for some students to have.
