Experience the Ultimate Learning Vacation with a Fully Personalized Work/Fun Itinerary

Have you discovered the benefits of immersion homestays at a teacher’s home? It’s one of the most effective ways to improve your French skills and gain confidence, whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or even with family!

A Truly Unique Learning Journey

An immersion stay is much more than just language lessons. It’s an all-encompassing experience that blends learning French with the comfort and hospitality of French-speaking hosts, cozy accommodations, delicious meals, and unforgettable excursions—everything perfectly arranged for you.

Your Learning, Your Pace

You decide how fast or slow you want to go: if you’re up for intensive practice, you can speak French throughout the day, including during meals. Need a break? Feel free to switch to English at any time—your teacher is bilingual. Your teacher will design the week to fit your specific goals and can adjust the schedule based on your energy and interests.

Know Exactly Where You’ll Stay and Who Your Teacher Is

Unlike other immersion programs that stick to a fixed curriculum and don’t allow you to choose your teacher or accommodation, here you have full control. You can select the location, view real photos of your accommodations, and get to know the exact teacher who will be hosting you. You’ll also learn about the teachers’ backgrounds and teaching styles, so there are no surprises—just a fully customized experience for you or your family.

Safe, Enjoyable, and Stress-Free

Best of all, it’s safe, stress-free, and genuinely fun. Your teacher takes care of all the planning, so you can simply unwind and enjoy an amazing week (or more) immersing yourself in French culture, either on your own or with your loved ones.
